Witten believes Bryant will end up with Packers
Now that Jason Witten is being paid to have an opinion, he offered his thoughts on the Dez Bryant free-agency speculation.
The new lead analyst for ESPN's Monday Night Football telecasts spoke on Adam Schefter's podcast about Bryant's potential landing spot.
"I think Dez is certainly going to have some great opportunities," Witten said. "He's motivated, and I think he's going to end up going to the Green Bay Packers.
"I think that's a great spot for him. Aaron Rodgers, he throws that back-shoulder throw so well and Dez has great chemistry with a good quarterback that can put the ball wherever he wants. I still believe Dez can high-point the football as good as any other wide receiver in the National Football League."
Witten prefaced the point by admitting he doesn't have any insider knowledge of the situation. He merely believes Green Bay is the best spot for his former teammate.
Bryant was released by the Cowboys in April after spending the first eight years of his career in Dallas. He vowed revenge and hoped to sign with a rival NFC East team, but has drawn only modest interest.
Bryant averaged a career single-season low of 12.1 yards per reception in 2017. He hasn't recorded a 1,000-plus-yard season since 2014.
