Dez Bryant is determined to get back on the field in 2020 and wouldn't mind doing so with the Dallas Cowboys.

"I'm where I need to be (physically) right now," the free-agent wide receiver told Mike Fisher of CowboysSI.com. "I'm more serious than ever."

Bryant sat out the 2019 campaign while rehabbing from a torn Achilles, which he sustained at his first practice with the New Orleans Saints last season. The 31-year-old spent the first eight years of his career with the Cowboys and holds the franchise record for career touchdown receptions with 73.

Bryant endured a somewhat messy divorce with the Cowboys because of his disdain for head coach Jason Garrett. He said he wouldn't be limited to running short routes like a tight end for Dallas in 2020 "because Garrett is gone."

"I know I would respect my role - and make a huge impact," he added.

Bryant had 69 receptions for 838 yards and six touchdowns over 16 games for the Cowboys in 2017.
