Dallas Cowboys

‘I can’t stop crying.’ Dez Bryant, ex-teammates react after he signs with Ravens.

Dez Bryant is back with an NFL team for the first time in three years after the Baltimore Ravens signed the former Dallas Cowboys star to their practice squad.

Bryant worked out with the Ravens during training camp but left the team unsigned in August.

He signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints in November 2018 but he tore his Achilles’ tendon a few days later. Bryant, 31, was a three-time All-Pro receiver during eight seasons with the Cowboys. He last played in 2017.

“My emotions running high right now,” Bryant posted on Twitter. “I’m thankful. I can’t stop crying. Put a shield over what you love and never give up.”
