  • Dez Bryant is still a free agent.

    At a time when he’s looking for a job, Dez Bryant isn’t keeping much of a low profile.

    The star wide receiver went off on several of his former teammates during a Twitter tirade on Friday, in response to a tweet from SiriusXM NFL Radio, which quoted Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones.

    The tweet mentioned Jones saying Dak Prescott had Bryant “in his ear” last year, when the full quote in the interview mentioned former tight end Jason Witten also being in the quarterback’s ear.

    Bryant responded by tweeting “Here we go with this scapegoat s***” and “garbage a** play calling” before accusing former teammates Travis Frederick and Sean Lee for orchestrating his release.

    Bryant tweeted: “He’s (Stephen Jones) not clueless.. Jerry (Jones) was the only one who was clueless.. s*** was a planned to get me out ask Travis and my brother snake Lee I mean Sean Lee.”

    Bryant, who is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2014 First-team All-Pro, has never lacked for talent or athleticism, but his behaviour on the sidelines and in the locker room has been a concern during his career.

    After Bryant’s comments on Twitter, Matt Miller of Bleacher Report tweeted on Friday evening that players he talked to “are glad Dez is gone”.

    It’s fair to wonder if Bryant is hurting his case with potential suitors who may be considering signing the outspoken receiver as a free agent.

    Bryant, however, doesn’t seem to be worried about landing a deal as he responded to a tweet on Friday by saying: “Me getting signed is not a focused of mine right now.. trust me Big dog I’m living my life…I’m taking care of myself..”

    One team that has recently expressed interest in Bryant is the Cleveland Browns, with general manager John Dorsey saying this past week that the team have had discussions about bringing him in.

    Wherever Bryant ends up, his baggage will come with him and be something a team has to deal with.
