Deion Sanders lobbies Cowboys to bring back Dez

With Dez Bryant still a free agent and wide receiver still an area of concern for the Dallas Cowboys, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders would like to see the two sides reconcile and reunite.

"Let's just apologize and say, 'Dez, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Come on back,'" the man known as Prime Time said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

The Cowboys released Bryant in April, and the three-time Pro Bowler hasn't generated much interest on the open market. Since cutting ties with him, the Cowboys lost longtime tight end Jason Witten to a broadcasting job, while veteran receiver Terrance Williams is embroiled in legal trouble.

"You didn't know Jason Witten was getting ready to do this," added Sanders, who played for the Cowboys from 1995-99. "You didn't know this knucklehead (Williams) was getting ready to do what he did - got out of the car and run out of the Lamborghini. Who leaves the scene of a crime with a Lamborghini? That means something's foul. Let bygones be bygones. Bring the dude back and let's move on."

Bryant turned down a one-year offer from the Baltimore Ravens following his release from Dallas, but interest in him since has been rather sparse.

In 16 games last year, Bryant posted 838 yards and six touchdowns receiving.
