According to Adam Schefter, the Ravens are no longer in the mix to sign free agent WR Dez Bryant now that they’re signing WR Willie Snead to a two-year contract.
Schefter says that the Ravens expressed some initial interest in Bryant before agreeing to a deal with Snead last week.
Bryant’s market has been slow-moving to say the least. Although, it’s possible that the draft has impacted the level of interest him.
Bryant has made it clear that he would like to play for an NFC East team with the Giants appearing to be his preference. However, neither the Giants, Redskins or Eagles have shown any interest in him up to this point.
It’s worth mentioning that signing Bryant to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Bryant, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2010. He was in the third year of his five-year, $70 million contract that included $45 million guaranteed and was set to make base salaries of $12.5 million over the final two years of the agreement when Dallas released him in a move that freed up $8.5 million of available cap space.
In 2017, Bryant has appeared in 15 games for the Cowboys and has caught 66 passes for 814 yards receiving and six touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 45 receiver out of 116 qualifying players.
