The free agent was dealt a one-year contract that will pay him $600,000 on base salary for the rest of the season, and he has the ability to earn an additional $500,000 in incentives. Some of Bryant’s former teammates and other NFL contemporaries congratulated the wideout, proud that he finally got a chance with another team.

New teammate Lance Moore tweeted out his excitement for Bryant, among many Saints that welcomed the big red-zone target.

Several Cowboys sent off their former teammate with grace, wishing him the best in the Big Easy.
