Report: Browns would still like to sign Dez Bryant

The Cleveland Browns reportedly still want to upgrade their wide receiver corps by signing Dez Bryant.

The three-time Pro Bowler "remains a receiver that the Browns would very much like to sign," according to NFL Network's Michael Silver.

The two sides met last week and it was reported talks would continue after the visit ended without a deal.

Bryant, 29, was released by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason. He's declined since leading the NFL with 16 receiving touchdowns in 2014, earning him an All-Pro nod. He hasn't posted a year with 1,000-plus receiving yards since that season and recorded just six touchdowns in 2017.

Despite that drop in production, the Browns "believe that he is still a very good receiver," Silver adds, and the team "simply wants to add as many playmakers as they can."

Josh Gordon returned to Cleveland over the weekend, but it's still unknown when he'll suit up for game action. He's not playing in the Browns' third preseason game on Thursday.
