After a brutal injury at training camp, the Dallas Cowboys have a vacancy at wide receiver, and Odell Beckham Jr. has a solution. No, not him, but a very familiar player to the franchise.
After Dez Bryant posted a workout video, Beckham responded by urging the former receiver to rejoin the Cowboys.
“Dezzzzzz back to the boys!!!!!!!! Get home king,” Beckham tweeted to Bryant.
Although the 33-year-old didn’t fully dismiss the notion, Bryant said he’s focused on another goal.
“I wouldn’t mind throwing the X up again in the Big D!!! But you know I’m grinding and on a different mission at the moment,” Bryant said.
Earlier this year in May, Bryant spoke to TMZ and shared his desire to come out of retirement and return to the Cowboys.

Dez’s most iconic moment with the Cowboys is easily the catch that was not a catch. In the Cowboys’ NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers in 2015, Bryant appeared to pull down a highlight reel catch just outside the end zone.
However, officials would overrule the play and call it an incomplete catch. Dallas would go on to lose, 26-21. The Cowboys franchise has never recovered from that moment.
It was the closest that Dallas would get to reaching the NFC Championship since their last Super Bowl victory back in the 1995-1996 season.
