The Raiders traded Bryant from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a third-round draft pick in April before being released by Oakland on Saturday after news broke that the 26-year-old wide receiver was facing another suspension for substance abuse. It’s unclear how long the suspension will be, but it’s expected to be similar to the first.
Bryant was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season before being suspended for the rest of the 2016 season. During that time, he checked into rehab in Nevada before returning to the league subject to periodic drug tests.
The former Clemson wide receiver was drafted in the fourth round by the Steelers in 2014. He impressed with 26 catches for 549 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games. The following year, he had 50 catches for 765 yards and 11 scores in 11 games. Bryant was once considered a top wide receiver but his career was doomed due to substance abuse. ( cosmo365 )
