Bryant’s former head coach Jason Garrett heaped praise on him and said he was happy for him, via NFL.com:
“Dez is a great player,” Garrett said, per the Dallas Morning News. “Really happy for him and that opportunity. I know he’ll help their team.
“I love Dez. I wish nothing but the best for him. That’s a great spot for him.”
There it is. Go ahead and write in the Saints name as the NFC’s representatives for the Super Bowl.
