We didn’t get what we wanted on Dez

Dez Bryant arrived in Cleveland, and don’t think for a second that the former Cowboy wasn’t ready for the cameras.

Bryant made the rounds around Berea doling out numerous man-hugs, however, there wasn’t a lot of real information to be gathered.

Cameras showed Hue Jackson making his pitch to Dez, with the third-year head coach stating the Browns were about to embark on the greatest turnaround in sports history and that guys like him would be needed to make it happen.

The thing we all wanted to see, though, is Dorsey’s opinion on the former Cowboy. The Cleveland Browns’ GM seemed to be really excited about the possibility of bringing Bryant into camp.

And he really got a kick out of one of the Browns’ personnel members informing him that Bryant was visiting.

Bryant and Dorsey probably met during the visit, but if it happened, HBO didn’t show it.

In the teaser for next week, Dorsey is supposed to talk about Bryant’s future with the Browns.

Don’t count on him getting signed though, with Gordon back in the mix.

Having Bryant around was good for TV, but ultimately, we were left with little more than high fives and hand shakes.
