Dez Bryant Reportedly Not Targeted by Redskins After Being Cut by Cowboys

For the time being, the Washington Redskins don't sound intent on entering the Dez Bryant sweepstakes.ย 

According toย USA Today's Mike Jones, Bryant is "not on" the Redskins' radar "right now" following the offseason acquisition of wide receiver Paul Richardson.ย 

As things stand, Washington will roll out a starting receiving corps that features Richardson and Josh Doctson on the outside and Jamison Crowder in the slot.ย  ย 

Shortly after Bryant's release became official on Friday, word trickled out that the three-time Pro Bowler wanted to make a statement by keeping his talents in the division.ย 

According toย Mickey Spagnolaย of the team's official website, Bryant walked out of his meeting with owner Jerry Jones saying, "I'll see guys twice this year."

NFL Network'sย Jane Slaterย added the "first division" that Bryant will lookย at when he mulls over his options is the NFC East.ย 

Bryant also sent out a tweet indicating he had hard feelings based on the way things played out in Dallas:ย 

With Washington reportedly not interested in Bryant's services, the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants would be his last hopes in the division.ย 

However, neither club seems like a great match.ย 

The defending Super Bowl champions are down to $1.8 million in cap space, perย Over The Cap, and their depth chart at receiver is rather crowded with Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, Mike Wallace and Mack Hollins.ย 

The Giantsย have $4.8 million of cap space and are already dealing with Odell Beckham Jr. as they try to sort out his future with the club. Add in Sterling Shepard, hybridย receiverย Evan Engram and the newly acquired Cody Latimer, and Big Blue have more pressing needs to address as they look to rebound from a 3-13 finish last season.ย
