Dez Bryant is ready to return to the NFL field, hopefully in a New Orleans Saints uniform as well.

It has been over a year since Dez Bryant last saw an NFL field as a player when the New Orleans Saints signed him after his departure from Dallas. Only a practice later, Dez would play his last snap with the Saints after tearing his Achilles’ tendon requiring surgery — or did he?

Dez Bryant is not ready to return to the professional field and the New Orleans Saints find themselves in desperate need of another wide receiver to play alongside Michael Thomas.

Thomas has seen almost triple Ted Ginn‘s receptions this season and more than that of Tre’Quan Smith.

Dez is not out of his prime yet, and he could be a valuable asset to the potentially Super Bowl-bound New Orleans Saints. This would be the first trip to the big stage for Dez Bryant and could prove to be his first ring as well.

New Orleans is a home that could house such talent as Dez. He is willing to take a back seat to Michael Thomas — that is probably more than can be said for free agent Antonio Brown. With that being said, Dez is the best option for New Orleans at this time.

Here are three reasons why this is true. Also, it’s not ignorant to believe that Bryant could come back to a playing level after missing a year. No, we know he won’t be his former All-Pro self, but a fraction is all that’d be needed.
