Dez Bryant indicated on Twitter on Monday night that he will likely wait until later in the season to sign with a team.
The wide receiver, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys in April, met with the Cleveland Browns last week but left his visit without signing a contract.
Bryant, in answering a tweet from a fan where his Twitter handle was mentioned, wrote, “I just have to take care of me first” and “I will play ball this year just might be a lil bit later in the year.”
In another tweet, Bryant wrote, “I want to be right … that’s my focus right now … life is great over here.”
Bryant, 29, was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and the Cowboys’ franchise leader in touchdown receptions in his eight seasons in Dallas.
Shortly after his release by the Cowboys, he turned down a three-year contract offer from Baltimore, preferring a one-year deal to re-establish himself in hopes of getting a bigger payday next season.
