The Facts: GM John Dorsey said the Browns have discussed Bryant, who was released by Dallas on April 13 after eight seasons with the club. "Have we had discussions about Dez Bryant? Yeah, that's natural," Dorsey said. "You're going to have discussions like that. Now, we'll see what comes to fruition in the next couple days, but we've talked about it. You have to talk about these things."

Diehards Line: Bryant, 29, is one of several receivers the Browns are considering in the wake of Josh Gordon leaving the team to focus on his overall health and treatment plan. They brought former Steelers receiver Eli Rogers in for a workout on Tuesday, but he re-signed with Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Other available wideouts are Eric Decker and Jeremy Maclin. Dorsey said that he doesn't know when Gordon will be back, and switched him to the 'did not report' from the non-football illness list. The new designation gives leaves Browns a total of two open roster spots. Bryant is a three-time Pro Bowler who could fill the void if Gordon doesn't make it back this season. Dorsey acknowledged the team has considered the eight-year pro.
