6 free agents who could still help the Vikings in 2019
By Adam Patrick
Dez Bryant – WR
During his career in the NFL, Dez Bryant has accomplished a lot. Bryant has been to three Pro Bowls, he’s earned one First-Team All-Pro selection, and he has led the league in touchdown catches for a season.
One thing missing from his list of accomplishments though is any sort of playoff success. Bryant made two trips to the postseason during his time with the Dallas Cowboys, but neither resulted in the team making it farther than the Divisional Round.
The Vikings are a team that is currently in position to compete for a championship and they could also make use of a player like Bryant. He would be a great third option at receiver for Minnesota to have behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.
Diggs and Thielen are actually two players that Bryant has recently praised for their underrated abilities out on the field. Would the veteran free agent be willing to take a lesser role in 2019 for the opportunity to play with the Vikings’ dynamic receiving duo?
For those worried about Bryant coming off a torn Achilles, recent videos that he has posted on his Instagram account seem to show he doesn’t have much longer before he is fully recovered.
So if Minnesota believes he can remain healthy, is the veteran receiver someone they should consider adding to their 2019 roster?
