Ex-Cowboys WR Dez Bryant Says He Has 'No Interest' in Playing 'Right Now'

Dez Bryant is throwing up the X to the NFL, at least temporarily. 

The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver cited a TMZ report from Tuesday that the Cowboys have been sued for allegedly covering up the severity of a 2017 car crash involving running back Ezekiel Elliott as a reason he has "no interest" in the NFL right now. 

"This exactly why I don't have no interest in playing football right now," he tweeted. "I have not reached out to no organization trying to play ... people forget real quick we are still human.. my anxiety and depression came from this type of stuff... what I realized nobody care but me." 

The 30-year-old further clarified in separate tweets: 

Bryant signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints in November but never played in a game for the team as he suffered a torn Achilles during his second practice.

Bryant's eight-year tenure in Dallas came to a rocky end in April 2018 when the Cowboys released him. 

Following his release, the All-Pro tweeted that his divorce with the Cowboys "wasn't my decision."

"If I didn't have my edge I got it now...," he added in another tweet. "I'm sorry they got to feel me it's personal... it's very personal."

Bryant wasn't given the chance to exact revenge until the Saints gave him a shot.

In the days after Bryant's season-ending Achilles injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport relayed that the Saints "would be open" to bringing the receiver back for the 2019 season. Head coach Sean Payton told NFL Network's Kimberly Jones, "He'll have a full recovery, and I know he still plans on playing." 

In March, reports surfaced that the Saints were interested in signing Bryant again—an idea he seemed to like:

Bryant must have since decided to expend his energy elsewhere for the time being.
