The Facts: Aaron Rodgers doesn't think he'll be throwing the ball to Bryant anytime soon, saying Tuesday that he doesn't expect the former Dallas Cowboys receiver to sign with the Green Bay Packers. "I don't know why you'd cut Jordy (Nelson) and bring in Dez, but he's a talented player. He's going to end up somewhere," Rodgers said. "If he ends up here, we'll obviously welcome him with open arms and get him up to speed as quick as possible."
Diehards Line:The QB's comments came a week after former Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he thinks Bryant will "end up going to the Green Bay Packers," although the new Monday Night Football analyst admitted he had no inside information on a potential move. The Packers cut Nelson in March. Although Green Bay did not sign a free-agent receiver, new GM Brian Gutekunst drafted three of them: J'Mon Moore (fourth round), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (fifth) and Equanimeous St. Brown (fifth). Gutekunst also signed the top receiving TE in free agency, Jimmy Graham. Still, there's no clear-cut No. 3 receiver behind Davante Adams and Randall Cobb (although third-year pro Geronimo Allison likely has the inside track on that spot entering OTAs) so expect the Bryant chatter to continue until he's employed (by someone).
