It looks like free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant is taking a page from Antonio Brown’s book.
Pretty much out of the blue, Bryant went on a pretty big Twitter rant Tuesday that included him talking about the treatment of black players in the NFL and somehow deciding to blast the Saints, Cowboys and Colin Kaepernick.
It was as strange as it was entertaining.
Day1 as when he got drafted?… or when Trayvon martin was Gun downed? he was in the nfc championship or super Bowl that year if not mistaken or This started whenever he chose not to play ball because he wasn’t a starter? Just be a lil bit more specific.. https://t.co/DCG4EZhOxi

Y’all making it seem like I’m against the man…. I feel like it’s more he could be doing for the people… so many businesses he could have started to employ the people…and raising money to go back into the communities especially with all of his supporters https://t.co/Df8DcZFNMO

Outside of grammar errors, we have no idea where to start here. Bryant is somehow indicating that Kaepernick decided not to play ball because he was no longer a starter in the NFL.
The fact is that Kaepernick started his final game as a member of the San Francisco 49ers back in 2016. He started 11 games that season, compiling 18 total touchdowns and four interceptions.
But we digress.
Bryant then seemingly took aim at the Dallas Cowboys and their treatment of black players under owner Jerry Jones. “Ask any black player on the Cowboys how I acted.” Again, what does this even mean?
Honestly you need to know the real reason why I haven’t played in the nfl… surely wasn’t because I couldn’t play anymore… I got offered 20 mil plus and turned away just because how poorly we was treated… ask any black player on the cowboys how I acted …. https://t.co/g18XcmCjaH

Adding even another layer to this odd rant, Bryant decided to go after his former New Orleans Saints squad.
I shouldn’t of never played for the saints Wait until you hear the story…. y’all people will soon will see what real sacrifice is https://t.co/ZXPfA0MFuX

New Orleans signed Bryant late last season. He ultimately suffered a torn Achilles in his first practice as a member of the team. What that has to do with his decision to sign with the Saints remains unclear.
Bryant did attempt to clarify in his own way.
The saints did nothing wrong…I’m just going to explain how it happened https://t.co/HUGrBdcjgG

Bryant, 31, announced just recently that he plans to reach out to teams in an attempt to return to the NFL.
We’re not going out on a limb to suggest that this rant won’t help matters in that regard. Whew!
