Dez Bryant left New Orleans without a contract, but the #Saints liked what they saw and the sides are in negotiations on a deal, sources tell me, @SlaterNFL and @RapSheet. He’s been close before, so nothing’s done until it’s done, but all signs pointing that way.

Should the deal materialize, Bryant would be joining the Saints just in time for their Nov. 29 visit to AT&T Stadium to take on the Cowboys, when Gil Brandt will be inducted into the club’s Ring of Honor.

According to a report Monday night from NFL Network’s Jane Slater, Bryant and two other receivers will work out for the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday.

The #Saints have been evaluating Dez Bryant’s tape since his release. I’m told the consensus all along was Bryant still had something but they have always maintained it would have to make sense and be the right fit. Thomas is and will continue to be their top of mind receiver. https://t.co/ckmZEzOYnY

Since being released by the Cowboys, Bryant has been without an NFL team. According to Doomsday Podcast co-host Ed Werder, Bryant was offered a multi-year deal by the Ravens, but he’s looking for a one-year deal.
