NFL news: Dallas Cowboys star Cole Beasley makes HUGE Dez Bryant claim
DALLAS COWBOYS wide receiver Cole Beasley believes NFL teams should snap up former team-mate Dez Bryant.
Bryant was let go from the NFC East side on April 13.
He is yet to be picked up by another NFL team having turned down a multi-year offer from the Baltimore Ravens.

It is believed Bryant is looking for a one-year deal to prove his ability and be picked up as a free-agent next season.
But reports suggest teams aren’t keen on the 29-year-old WR with Beasley at a loss to explain why.

“I’ve seen the things going around that teams won't even sign him for minimum,” Beasley said on the Ben and Skin Show on KRLD-FM 105.3 The Fan
“I’m like that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I don't know if it's just rumours going around, what he is off the field or in the locker room.
“Dez was always a great team-mate to me, and he did want to see other guys succeed. Every wide receiver wants the rock.
“And he's so passionate it may come off the wrong way to some people. He definitely still has it. He's got all the tools.
“Now he has a chip on his shoulder. He's an animal already. It's scary. If he gets to another team and he gets that shot, I promise you he's gonna be ready.
“He's a very supportive dude and a good friend off the field. I talk to him all the time.”
Bryant made six touchdowns in 2017 from 69 receives.
He went a total of 838 yards - his best return since 2014 when he made 1,320 yards and 16 touchdowns.
The Cowboys struggled in 2017 as one of the preseason favourites for the Super Bowl, ending with a 9-7 record.
