Dea'Quan Wright waived by Browns, LSU deal in place

Dea'Quan Wright waived by Browns

The Cleveland Browns have waived tight end Dea'Quan Wright, and he is on the verge of making NFL history. Per Adam Schefter, Wright has an agreement with LSU to return to college football if he goes unclaimed on waivers, which would make him the first player ever to move directly from an NFL roster back to college.

Fantasy impact

Wright has no fantasy value here. If he clears waivers and returns to LSU, he exits the NFL picture entirely. If a team claims him, he lands at the bottom of a depth chart with no clear path to touches. Either way, he is not a player to target on the waiver wire in any format.
