Dez tweets he wants to return to Cowboys
Steelers in the dark over Bell’s possible return
Dez Bryant wants the Dallas Cowboys to re-sign him.
In fact, he wants to play for the franchise that drafted him above all others.
On Tuesday, Bryant got on Twitter and made that sentiment very clear.
“I’ll rather it be the Dallas Cowboys if not I’ll be ready to play somewhere else,” Bryant tweeted.
This season, the wide receiver has been very active on social media. He criticized the Cowboys during their losses to the Panthers and Seahawks.
He also praised the Cowboys during their wins over the Giants and Lions.
Owner Jerry Jones and the organization cut Bryant last spring.
Since then, Bryant has turned down a contract offer from at least the Ravens. He also met with the Browns, but the two sides did not come to an agreement.
Bryant also sparred Dallas linebacker Sean Lee and other members of the organization during training camp.
BRONCOS: Denver’s defensive scheme went perfectly according to script for 3½ quarters as they put the brakes on Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes. Then, the Chiefs QB went offscript and led two late TD drives. All the Broncos could do was chase.
“He escaped us probably seven or eight times. He’s in the grasp and he escaped,” Vance Joseph said Tuesday, a day after a 27-23 loss. “Kudos to him. He made a lot of big plays for them.”
Still, Denver may have just uncovered some semblance of a blueprint for containing Mahomes and KC (4-0).
Well, as much as a plan can exist for a QB who’s become an escape artist. The Broncos kept him contained in the pocket, limiting him to 65 of his 304 yards passing in the first half, before he busted out with an assortment of unconventional plays. Chief among them, a left-handed pass late in the fourth quarter to Tyreek Hill that resulted in a first down. Mahomes even had Von Miller closing in on him during the play.
STEELERS: If running back Le’Veon Bell is returning to the the team later this month, he hasn’t let his teammates and coaches know.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday he hasn’t heard from the All-Pro running back, who told ESPN on Monday that he will end his standoff with the team around Pittsburgh’s bye week, which begins after the Steelers face Cincinnati on Oct. 14.
“I have not talked to Le’Veon and I really have no Le’Veon update,” Tomlin said. SEAHAWKS: The NFL has suspended linebacker Mychal Kendricks indefinitely after he pleaded guilty last month to federal insider trading charges.
League spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the suspension under the personal conduct policy Tuesday. Kendricks’ suspension had been anticipated since his guilty plea in early September. It was just a matter of when the league would decide to act. DOLPHINS: Miami released DT Jordan Phillips on Tuesday in the wake of his angry outburst on the sideline after he came out of a lopsided loss at New England.
“Free at last free at last,” Phillips wrote on Instagram. “Good luck to my brothers on the team. I’ll miss ya’ll, but I couldn’t be happier to be out of there. … Sometimes you got to put your future in your own hands and live with it.”
The Dolphins had the day off and didn’t discuss the reason for the move. On Monday, coach Adam Gase defended defensive line coach Kris Kocurek’s substitution pattern.
Phillips and the rest of Miami’s front four were dominated in Sunday’s 38-7 loss to the Patriots, who rushed for 175 yards. The defeat dropped Miami to 3-1.
BROWNS: Cleveland put starting cornerback Terrance Mitchell on IR with a broken right wrist. He got hurt in Sunday’s 45-42 loss at Oakland and underwent surgery Monday.
COURTS: Another attempt by the NFL to stop a legal showdown over the move of the Rams from St. Louis to Los Angeles has been turned away.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that a Missouri appeals court issued a ruling Tuesday that allows a lawsuit to proceed.
The St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, St. Louis city and St. Louis County filed suit in 2017, alleging that the Rams’ departure violated a 1984 league guideline that was established after the Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles.
CROWELL: Jets running back Isaiah Crowell has been fined $13,369 by the NFL for his crude touchdown celebration in Cleveland.
After scoring a TD against his former team Sept. 20, Crowell took the ball and wiped it against his rear end before firing it into the stands..
