Cowboys players and coaches react after Dez Bryant signs with the Saints

When the Dallas Cowboys cut Dez Bryant back in April, things did not exactly end on good terms.

On the day he was released, Bryant blamed the move the cowboys roster did not want him on the team anymore. Bryant also took a shot at the team in July where he ripped multiple people, coach Jason Garrett, for running a "garbage bad" offense.

Despite all that, it does not seem to be any animosity between the Cowboys and Bryant. After the free agent wide receiver signed with the Saints on Wednesdays, Garrett and several players went to Bryant, who's expected to practice for the first time with New Orleans on Thursday.

"I'm really happy for him and that opportunity," Garrett said, via USA Today. "I know it's important to him." "It's a good job, it's a good job." and I know it will help their team. "

The odd part about this signing is that the Cowboys actually have to face Bryant this season. In Week 13, Dez will be returning to Dallas when the Cowboys host the Saints. Garrett was asked if he had been hoping that he would not be able to do this.

"I'm happy for Dez, happy he has an opportunity to go and finish the right way," Garrett said. "It'll be a great environment for a big impact."

That's a guy who's definitely sticking to his talking points.

Besides Garrett, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was also excited to see Bryant get a new job.

"They're getting a great receiver," Elliott said, Pro Football Talk. He's definitely a special player, and I'm glad he got picked up and I'm glad something worked out for him. "

Defensive lineman cowboys Tyrone Crawford has actually been hired with Bryant recently, and if his scouting is to be believed, the Saints are getting a guy who looks like an animal.

"It's big for him, man," Crawford said, via PFT. "I'm happy for Dez.I've gotten off the hook for a couple of weeks, and I'm just hoping for the best for He's a good friend of mine. "

As for Bryant, one thing he might want to do before his return to Dallas on Nov. 29 is a few extra jerseys, because apparently, a bunch of his old teammates are hoping to trade with him after the game.

That tweet is from Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith and it was followed by a defensive end Taco Charlton.

It looks like it's still alive in Dallas and it's going to be a popular guy when it returns to AT & T Stadium at the end of the month.
