Martavis Bryant Landing Spots: Top 3 teams that should bring in veteran WR after Cowboys release

Martavis Bryant once again doesn't have a team

The Dallas Cowboys decided on Wednesday to move in another direction with wide receiver Martavis Bryant. The former Pittsburgh Steeler started his career trending positively, but he faced several problems with the law, and the Steelers decided to cut him.

The Cowboys had nothing to lose in providing Bryant a return to the NFL, considering they didn't have to spend a lot to sign him. Now that they also decided to end his contract, Dallas won't have to pay any dead money, while giving him a shot to find a team that could prove to be a better fit.

Here's a closer look at three potential landing spots for Martavis Bryant.

3 teams that could sign Martavis Bryant after Cowboys release

#1. Los Angeles Chargers

It's perhaps impossible not to link every viable wide receiver to the Los Angeles Chargers at this point. The team did sign D.J. Chark Jr., but he's far from fixing the problem with their receiving room, and quarterback Justin Herbert can't throw and catch the ball at the same time.

Would Martavis Bryant fix anything? Perhaps not, but at this point, all you can do is throw darts at the wall and hope that one sticks. Considering what Bryant did during his time with the Steelers, a no-risk contract wouldn't be a bad thing.

#2. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs have a smaller need for wide receivers than the Chargers, especially after they signed Marquise Brown and drafted Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. But fans can't forget that Rashee Rice is involved in multiple legal troubles now, and he'll likely miss a good portion of the regular season.

With a low cost, Bryant could be worth a look as the Chiefs hunt for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.

#3. Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles don't have much need for a starter wide receiver either at the moment, but when you look after A. J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, it's clear that the group isn't deep enough.

Bryant in Philadelphia would follow the same trend as Kansas City: You don't 100% need him, but considering your situation and a potential upside if things work out, taking a flyer wouldn't hurt anyone.
