That will be one week removed from comments by Cleveland GM John Dorsey that Bryant wouldn’t return his calls as well as Bryant’s Twitter response which included the following during the Browns’ preseason opener against the New York Giants.

Of course this sets up the previously unthinkable and now apparently inevitable predicament for OSU fans of having to cheer for/sneer at a Baker-2-Dez TD connection against your favorite NFL team.
