Dez Bryant has been a staple in the Cowboys offense since being drafted by the team in 2010, but now that it seems Dez has lost a step in production it may be time to move on. Bryant is the all-time leader in touchdown receptions with 73, but his numbers have dropped dramatically since 2014 as he was coming off his 3rd consecutive 1,000-yard season. Bryant has dealt with injuries and turmoil about his roll in the passing game, now he's dealing with contract issues that could force the Cowboys to part ways with him. It would not be the end because Bryant could still be a nice target for a team that needs a receiver to complement their #1 guy. Here are some teams I think he could make an impact:
San Francisco 49ers
Jimmy G has signed a monster deal with the Niners and will need more targets, Bryant's ability to make yards after a catch would benefit Garrapolo who's a disciple of the Belichick version of the West Coast offense.
Washington Redskins
Alex Smith and the Skins' offense could use some veteran presence to go along with Josh Doctson. Bryant would be a nice fit here because he would be a second option and Jordan Reed's versatility could stretch the field and open the door for more targets. Not to mention he could stick it to his former team twice a year.
Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Green has lost his running mates the last couple of seasons and Bryant could be the guy to finally relieve the pressure. Andy Dalton's future with the team rides on this season, so getting a solid target like Bryant helps his chances a lot.
Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins traded their top receiver Jarvis Landry to Cleveland, so a veteran is the only way to go. Devante Parker is their guy now so bringing in Dez would give Tannehill a solid target in the seams. Pairing Bryant with a younger receiver could push Dez back in the right direction.
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers is coming back from a devastating shoulder injury and he lost his favorite target Jordy Nelson, so finding him another receiving target should be a priority. Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham and Dez Bryant could be a nice trio for one of the best quarterbacks in the league, a bit deadly if you ask me.
These are just a couple of teams that could use Bryant's services, so look out because Dez still has some gas in the tank. It'll be very interesting see where he ends up.
