“You guys let go of the best player in the NFL this year and told the GM’s son Jayden Daniels straight to his face to draft him. You shouldn’t be talking to me. You should be talking to your dumb ass GM…”
That was just the beginning for these two, Thibodeau added, “From here on out, I’m going to shoot in any old head for the Giants.” But this led to more than Bryant.
“The only player there is Malik Nabers…Other than that, sorry to break it to you, my friend, you guys are a disgrace,” Bryant said. “Shut up with all that political bickering! ..you better hope they don’t trade your ass the way you talk…pipeline mate…I might not see you looking for a trade or cutting.”
Thibodeaux tried to defuse the tension, but Bryant continued.
“Why didn’t you retire?” Thibodeaux asked the former receiver. Also, Bryant, 36, said he would return a call if Giants GM Joe Shaw asked him to work for a roster spot.
“I bet you will,” Thibodeau said.
Bryant said, “I know this.. You never know.. “One day we will create in person! It’s too far from the stage! I’m here to put you guys on the game… I hate that you misinterpreted my tweet… I’m done going back and forth… I wish you luck. career”
