Dorsey: Browns have discussed signing Dez Bryant

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey may be looking to add a high-profile name to the team's receiving corps with Josh Gordon away from the team and his future uncertain.

Dorsey told reporters Wednesday that the Browns have discussed bringing in former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, according to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.

After being released in April by the Cowboys, Bryant hasn't garnered much interest on the free-agent market.

Cleveland's interest in Bryant comes a day after Gordon announced he'll miss the beginning of training camp while continuing to work on his personal health, though Dorsey expects his absence to be brief.

Asked Wednesday whether Gordon will be back at some point during the 2018 season, Dorsey said, "Yeah, I would think. Absolutely."

The Browns general manager also announced that Ricardo Louis will miss the upcoming season with a neck injury, so the team has an immediate need at receiver.

Bryant caught 69 passes for 838 yards and six touchdowns in 2017. In eight seasons with Dallas, the receiver made three Pro Bowls.
