Bryant excited by idea of joining Beckham, Giants: 'That'd be crazy'

The Dallas Cowboys released Dez Bryant after eight seasons with the team, and he's since made it clear that he's seeking revenge.

The receiver would prefer to stay within the division to get a shot at Dallas twice a season, and was animated by the prospect of joining forces with Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants.

"The Giants got a helluva defense," Bryant told 247Sports.com's Mike Fisher, who asked for his reaction to several potential destinations. "They're going to pay OBJ (Beckham), so (he's) coming back. Playing with him, Sterling (Shepard) ... the tight end (Evan Engram), (Eli) Manning? Crazy. ... That'd be crazy."

The Giants, Washington Redskins, and Philadelphia Eagles reportedly aren't interested in Bryant, so he may be unable to get the retribution he seeks.

Bryant noted that it wouldn't "wouldn't seem right" to sign with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers because there is "too much history" - likely referring to his infamous non-catch in the 2014 playoffs - and said it would be "fun" to play for the high-scoring Los Angeles Rams.
