Browns waiving Dae'Quan Wright ahead of potential LSU move
The Cleveland Browns are waiving tight end Dae'Quan Wright, and if he clears waivers, he has an agreement in place to play for LSU in 2026, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln, as reported by Adam Schefter. Wright is believed to be the first active NFL player to enter the college transfer portal.
Wright, a former Ole Miss tight end, went undrafted and initially signed with the Philadelphia Eagles before being waived earlier this month. The Browns claimed him off waivers, and he has been on their practice squad during training camp.
What is behind the college return
Wright is one of 16 players who plan to head back to college after a Louisiana judge granted a temporary restraining order tied to the NCAA's five-year eligibility clock. New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, who previously coached Wright at Ole Miss, had reached out to Browns head coach Todd Monken about the situation.
Fantasy roster impact
Wright carries no fantasy value. He was an undrafted rookie on a practice squad, and if he clears waivers, he is headed back to college football. No roster action needed.
