Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Cowboys) signed an undisclosed deal with the Washington Commanders Tuesday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Bryant spent last season on the Cowboys' practice squad. He last appeared in an NFL game in 2018, before the league suspended him for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement from a previous suspension. He spent the next few years as a player in the Indoor Football League, Canadian Football League, Fan Controlled Football, and XFL before catching on with Dallas last year. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn was the Cowboys defensive coordinator last year, but it'll take more for a connection to the coach for Bryant to earn a role. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Cowboys) said he believes he can help a team if they are willing to give him an opportunity. He said he talked with Carolina Panthers senior assistant recently but did not indicate he is close to a deal.
| Footballguys view: Bryant was with the Cowboys' practice squad for the 2023 season, but he hasn't played a regular-season snap since 2018 when he was with the Raiders. Earlier this year, Bryant was scheduled to workout with the Commanders and now the Panthers may be interested. Bryant may land on a roster, but he's a long shot to do much. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Cowboys) is scheduled to work out for the Washington Commanders Wednesday, May 15, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Bryant is trying to make a comeback in the NFL after not playing a regular season snap since 2018. The Commanders are looking at other veteran receivers (Damiere Byrd) who can stretch the field. We'll see if they make a move at the position before minicamp and OTAs or training camp. |

Dallas Cowboys WR Martavis Bryant was released on Wednesday, May 8, per source.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed a futures deal with the Cowboys earlier this year after spending last season on their practice squad. Reports indicate that other teams are interested in Bryant, but he hasn't played a regular-season down since 2018. If/when he ever gets on the field, one should not be expecting much. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Cowboys) is expected to sign a Reserve/Future contract with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed with the Cowboys last November, but he failed to get activated on the 53-man roster. They did release him a couple of weeks ago, but now he should be back on a reserve/future contract. He's still big and fast, so in super crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Raiders) will work out for the Tennessee Titans if he leaves his workout with the Dallas Cowboys unsigned.
| Footballguys view: Bryant has been making the rounds since he was reinstated by the league. He hasn't played in the NFL since 2018, and Bryant was indefinitely suspended back in 2020. Now, he's clear to play and garnering a bit of interest out there. He's big, fast, and physical as a receiver but who knows what he has left in the tank if he gets back on an NFL field. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Raiders) will work out for the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, Nov. 7.
| Footballguys view: Bryant has been reinstated by the NFL after he was indefinitely suspended in 2020. He hasn't played in the NFL since 2018, but Bryant is big, fast, and physical so a few teams have interest in his services. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (XFL) has been reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and has drawn interest from multiple teams, according to agent James Peterson.
| Footballguys view: On indefinite suspension since 2020, Bryant should get interest now that he's allowed to play in the NFL again. He has not played in the NFL since 2018 and spent last summer in the XFL. Bryant is a big-bodied receiver with a nose for the end zone. In this league, that's going to garner some attention. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Raiders) signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League Monday, Jan. 25.
| Footballguys view: Bryant has not played since 2018 as the NFL has indefinitely suspended him. He applied for reinstatement in 2019 but now finds himself making a trip up North to keep playing. Perhaps if he performs well in Canada then he could get back to the NFL. It's more likely that his playing days in the NFL are done. |

Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Raiders) is receiving interest from several teams, but he still has not applied for reinstatement at this point.
| Footballguys view: Bryant hopes to play at some point but still needs to do more work. It sounds like Bryant may not play in 2020 but could be aiming for a return in 2021. Bryant will be 28-years old next offseason but it sounds like some teams could still have interest. |
Martavis Bryant player page
Free-agent WR Martavis Bryant (Raiders) has applied to the NFL for reinstatement. He has been working with the NFL and the NFL Players Association to address his mental health issues.
| Footballguys view: Bryant was most recently suspended in December for violating a policy from a previous ban. He has been suspended three times in the past four years for violations of the league's substance abuse policy. If healthy and on the right track, Bryant can still be a deep threat in the league. It's unknown if or when Bryant would actually be reinstated. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant is suspended indefinitely but could return by training camp if he follows his treatment plans and does not have any setbacks.
| Footballguys view: There may be a move to reinstate Bryant sometime around May...provided he has no more issues that would further his suspension. He appeared in only eight games this year for the Raiders, snaring only 19 passes for 266 yards and zero touchdowns. |
Martavis Bryant player page
Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant has been suspended indefinitely for violating the terms of his reinstatement as well as violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
| Footballguys view: This was expected since the summer. Bryant will likely go down as an example of disappointment and squandered gifts. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Bryant has not played since Week 10 due to this PCL injury. He was added to the Raiders via trade (third-round pick) with the Steelers earlier this year. Bryant finishes the season with 19 catches for 266 yards. He's set to be a free agent in 2019. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee) will miss a couple of weeks and could be out longer after injuring his posterior cruciate ligament last week, according to head coach Jon Gruden.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders are going to be pretty shorthanded with Bryant missing at least a couple of weeks. They traded away Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson is battling an injury at this time (knee, questionable) so they may have to use Brandon LaFell and Seth Roberts more than ever. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee) sustained a knee injury during the team's Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The injury is believed to be a possible torn PCL, though the team hopes Bryant won't need surgery. He's set to undergo an MRI to clarify the nature of the injury, but regardless of the result Bryant is expected to miss some time.

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant is expected to be a bigger part of the offense following the trade of Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 22.'I think it helps a player like Martavis Bryant because he's got tremendous skills, tremendous size and speed, and he's still really kind of learning the system. I think he's such an explosive player. ... I think it will help them more he's in the system, the more he's here and is able to sit around and stay with one system,' offensive coordinator Greg Olson said.
| Footballguys view: Bryant gets high value deep targets and the Raiders will likely be playing from behind and passing more than running in the second half of the season, but he's still only bench depth unless he and Derek Carr heat up. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (illness) was added to the injury report Saturday, Oct. 13, because of an illness.

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant has the confidence of head coach Jon Gruden after re-signing with the team Tuesday, Sept. 11. 'He's a guy who has proven he can go up and get the deep ball in contested situations,' Gruden said of Bryant. 'He can run away from you. He can make you miss. He can make big plays down the field. We're hoping we can bottle up where he is now. He's in a great place. He has a great state of mind. We'll see what happens.'
| Footballguys view: Bryant still faces potential sanctions from the NFL but for this week, he's active. That said, this is a bad matchup against the Denver Broncos and last week didn't make us feel good about this passing offense anyway. We'd avoid Bryant this week. |

| Footballguys view: It was just 10 days ago that Bryant was let go by the Raiders...and now he's back. That's what happens when Derek Carr clearly needs some help at the position. Bryant is still facing a possible year-long suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. |

Bryant is facing a suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. It's rare we see players come back from another round of suspensions. |

The Oakland Raiders released WR Martavis Bryant on Saturday, Sept. 1. He is facing another suspension, pending appeal, which explains why the team jettisoned him.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders gave up a third round pick (no.79 overall) for Bryant this year in the 2018 NFL draft. Bryant was reportedly struggling in camp with the Raiders and this new suspension essentially sealed his fate. Seth Roberts is now in line to be the no.3 wide receiver behind Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson in 2018. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (head) was held out of practice for a second straight day as he continues to deal with migraine headaches. Migraines have bothered Bryant for years now, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur.
| Footballguys view: Bryant has already had a disappointing summer and might be losing snaps to Ryan Switzer in three-wide sets. He's oozing with physical talent, but Bryant's role and momentum are putting him on the fringe of draftable players in redraft leagues. |

Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant has been locked to the second unit, without many 11-on-11 reps early in camp, according to Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area.
| Footballguys view: Ryan Switzer may end up with more snaps and targets than Bryant at this rate. Bryant has tons of physical ability, but he might not have a big role in the Raiders offense after they spent a third round pick on him. |
Martavis Bryant player page
Oakland Raiders WR Martavis Bryant is struggling to learn the playbook so far in training camp, according to offensive coordinator Greg Olson. The Raiders are trying to simplify Bryant's learning process so they can get him on the field more.
| Footballguys view: Bryant is a superfreak athlete who can take the top off the defense. Things shouldn't really be that complicated for him as he usually wins with physical traits (size, speed, athleticism) and not savvy route running. That being said, Bryant needs to pick up the playbook better if he wants to contribute at a high level. |
