Former Dallas Cowboys' signal-caller and current CBS analyst Tony Romo offered a referral for Bryant to teams that may have interest in the star receiver.
"There's a ton of teams he could help," Romo said, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. "One thing, I don't know how many teams will do their homework on it, but Dez is a good teammate and I think sometimes that might get lost in the way that the emotional aspect of things. If I was talking to any of the GMs or coaches, I would tell them he's not going to hurt the locker room in any possible way."
Bryant was released from the Cowboys on April 13, following a 2017 season in which he caught 69 passes for 838 yards and six touchdowns. Romo was his quarterback for the last season he topped both 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns.
While Bryant reportedly turned down a multi-year contract offer from the Baltimore Ravens, interest in the eight-year veteran has seemingly been rather low. Now that teams can reevaluate their needs following the draft, Romo expects the market to pick up.
"He's going to come out and he'll be a great teammate when he gets there. I think he'll have a couple options here soon," he said.
