The New Orleans Saints have a myriad of problems to solve this free agency, and Dez Bryant could at least be the answer to one.

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, 31, has not played a snap of football since 2018 when he was actually signed by the New Orleans Saints to pair alongside Michael Thomas for their playoff push.

Dez Bryant is hungry to compete again and the Saints should get dibs while they still can.

No. 1 Dez Bryant still owes the New Orleans Saints

Back in 2018, the Saints took a gamble on free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant by signing him to a one-year deal worth $1,250,000.

After his second day as a New Orleans Saint, Dez Bryant tore his Achilles in practice and was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Dez never played a single snap with the New Orleans Saints.

Dez briefly announced he would retire until the right team came along to sign him, but a deal never emerged. Dez Bryant has remained in excellent shape and his hands are as good as ever.

In his recent workout videos on Instagram, Dez is seen snagging one-handed catches from a machine while laying flat on his stomach. In a league where one-handed catches aren’t uncommon, viewers were still taken aback by the skill level of his catches.
