Rookie TE Returns to College Football | Cleveland Browns News
Description
The Cleveland Browns are releasing rookie tight end DaeQuan Wright — a shocking move that could see him return to college football, making him the first player to officially commit back to a collegiate team after NFL training camp. Wright, who never played in a regular-season game despite dressing for preseason, has agreed to join LSU under coach Lane Kiffin — his former Ole Miss mentor — as long as no other team claims him off waivers. The Browns’ coaching staff, including head coach Todd Monken, were caught off guard, only learning Wright had a medical issue preventing practice and that LSU had reached out weeks earlier. If waived, Wright must repay any pro contract money. With this move, the Browns can now focus on finalizing their 53-man roster ahead of their final preseason game, while also deciding on their starting quarterback.
