Dez Bryant's desire to play for the Patriots is pretty apparent, but it still doesn't seem the feeling is mutual.
From old friend Mike Giardi, now with the NFL Network:
One thing's for sure: With Riley McCarron and Chad Hansen no longer on the scene, the Pats need bodies at wide receiver. Julian Edelman's PED suspension still has three games to run, so the Pats are down to three active wideouts: Phillip Dorsett, Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan. (Four, if you count special-teams captain Matthew Slater.) Another wide receiver, Jace Billingsley, is currently on the practice squad.
