By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news that you need to know, including the Browns continuing to show interest in free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant.
Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey surprised a lot of people when he stated that the organization has discussed bringing in free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant.
The talented receiver has not been able to find a new team after the Dallas Cowboys released him in April. Bryant’s play has diminished over the past few seasons, and teams may not want to deal with his baggage.
In the past week, the Browns lost two wide receivers days before training camp started. Star wide reciever Josh Gordon is missing the beginning of training camp to focus on his “overall health and treatment plan.” Cleveland also announced that third-year receiver Ricardo Louis will miss the entire 2018 season due to a neck injury.
