It appears Martavis Bryant is ruining what could be his final chance at playing professional football.

The Former Steelers wide receiver has been suspended by this team in the Canadian Football League.

“We’ve had some contact with him. I’m getting a little impatient with the thing. We need to get him up here now if he’s going to make an impact on our team,” Coach Ryan Dinwiddie said, via 3DownNation.com. “The ball is in his court, he needs to get his passport and get those things squared away. We’ll see how that’s going to play out.”

Bryant has yet to show up to the Toronto Argonauts training camp and his coach is getting upset.

Bryant signed a contract with Toronto in January after being suspended indefinitely by the NFL in 2019 for violating terms of his conditional reinstatement.

Selected in the 4th round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Bryant started off well with 26 catches for 549 yards and eight touchdowns over 10 games.

Bryant was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 NFL Season due to substance abuse violations. He missed the entire 2016 season due to the same violation.

He was reinstated by the NFL for the 2017 season but wasn’t the same. He also said publically he wanted to be traded.

He was traded in the offseason to the Oakland Raiders. He played eight games for the Raiders catching 16 passes for 266 yards and zero touchdowns.
