Antonio Bryant Proves to Be Costly Error for Another NFL Team

The list of NFL teams in need of receivers seems to grow by the day. St. Louis suddenly has to replace Donnie Avery, who was placed on injured reserve after hurting his knee Thursday night. San Diego might still be forced to find someone to take Vincent Jackson’s spot, if he’s traded or continues his holdout. The Jets could use some depth while Santonio Holmes serves his four-game suspension, Seattle wants another veteran, the Redskins and Bears have question marks — the list goes on and on.
But here’s a little tip for all of those teams: Don’t bother calling Antonio Bryant. It’s not worth it. Just ask Cincinnati.
The Bengals released Bryant on Sunday, a little less than six months after handing out an inexplicable four-year, $28 million contract to the 29-year-old receiver — including about $7 million in guaranteed money, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Bryant will try to recoup even more of that original contract, too.
“Our opposition is you can’t cut a guy if he’s hurt. We know what the rules are. We expect to be paid his salary for the year,” Bryant’s agent, Lamont Smith, told the Enquirer. “He understands what his rights are. We’ve talked about it over the last three weeks and he understands it’s a business.”
