After agreeing to sign with the Cowboys, wide receiver Martavis Bryant was just reinstated by the NFL. Shams Charania, a well-known NBA insider, broke the initial news of Bryant’s signing.
Only a few days have passed since NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell lifted Bryant’s four-year punishment for repeatedly breaking the organization’s drug policy.
Since people couldn’t get the feeling that Shams was the one who first revealed this information, his signing was reduced to a footnote.
“Breaking news in the NFL: The Dallas Cowboys are signing newly-reinstated wide receiver Martavis Bryant to a contract, according to sources,” he said in a tweet. “Bryant, who last played for the Raiders in 2018, had 17 touchdowns and 2,183 receiving yards in 44 career games.”

Bryant had a good visit and exercise with the team on Tuesday, and it is said that he will be joining the Dallas practice squad.
The 31-year-old last participated in an NFL game in 2018 while playing for the Raiders, who were still based in Oakland. Earlier in the year, he was a professional football player with the Vegas Vipers of the XFL.
