According to Field Yates, the New York Jets worked out DE Armonty Bryant on Tuesday.
Bryant, 27, is a former seventh-round pick of the Browns back in 2013. The Browns elected to waive him last year and was claimed by the Lions after severing a suspension to open the season.
Bryant was once again suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substances of abuse policy, which led to the Lions placing him on the reserve/suspended list. Detroit later received a roster exemption for Bryant before activating him in November.
Bryant played out the final year of his four-year, $2.221 million rookie contract and re-signed with the Lions to a one-year, $855,000 contract.
Detroit released him earlier this week after finishing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on substances of abuse.
In 2016, Bryant has appeared in five games for the Lions and recorded five tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble.
