The NFL Draft has officially come and gone, and teams that feel they have not done enough to improve at the wide receiver position this offseason can still explore the possibility of adding Dez Bryant. Will the Buffalo Bills be one of those teams?
Between the chronic knee problems Kelvin Benjamin has and the insane offseason Zay Jones has had, you could say the Bills have some uncertainty at receiver. They tried to address that by taking Clemson’s Ray-Ray McLoud and North Carolina’s Austin Proehl late in the draft, but Buffalo GM Brandon Beane admitted over the weekend that he has at least taken a look at Bryant.
“We’ll look at everything,” Beane said, via the Bills’ official website. “We have looked at Dez on tape, but I wouldn’t take it any further and I don’t know where that would go. We’re looking to get better at all positions and receiver is one, so if we thought that was the right fit for us we would potentially pursue it.”
While many teams don’t have the salary cap space needed to sign Bryant given the type of contract he is reportedly seeking, the 30-year-old presents a rare opportunity to land an impact player late in the offseason. With the draft complete, Bryant should find a new home sooner rather than later.
