NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers WR Brown tweets Dez Bryant

The tweet comes less than a week after the NFL Network reported that Bryant and the Cleveland Browns have mutual interest and were working to schedule a visit.

After going most of the offseason without getting much-reported interest from NFL teams, Dez Bryant is becoming quite popular. Especially in the AFC North.

Early Sunday morning, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown tweeted at Bryant, telling the former Dallas Cowboys star he should join Brown in Pittsburgh.

"Come to play with me @DezBryant let's get the chip..........Eat Greedily......Big plates......." Brown's tweet read.

The tweet comes less than a week after the NFL Network reported that Bryant and the Cleveland Browns have mutual interest and we're working to schedule a visit.

"I know what kind of person he is and what makes him,"Brown's general manager John Dorsey told reporters of Bryant on Wednesday. "He's a very talented player. Have we had discussions about Dez Bryant? Yeah, that's natural. 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."

Also this week, Bryant ripped Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and a couple of former teammates, most notably linebacker Sean Lee, whom Bryant called a "snake" and accused of being "behind" Bryant's release.

Back in April, Bryant received a multiyear offer from another AFC North team, the Baltimore Ravens, but reportedly turned down the deal because he wanted to prove himself on a one-year deal.

After signing a five-year, USD70 million extension in July 2015, Bryant was limited to 150 catches for 2,035 yards and 17 scores across three seasons, missing 10 games over that span due to injury. He totaled 273 catches for 3,935 yards and 41 scores over the previous three seasons while playing in every game.

He finished 2017 with 69 receptions for 838 yards and six touchdowns, starting all 16 games, and he was released April 13.
