Dae’Quan Wright is released by the Cleveland Browns and is expected to join LSU for college football if he clears NFL waivers, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, speaking to The Associated Press.
Wright previously signed with the Philadelphia Eagles after the NFL draft and later joined the Browns. He is released by Cleveland on Aug. 11, after which the waiver process determines his eligibility to return to college play. Multiple reports identify Wright as a former Ole Miss tight end and note that he has had NFL training camp deals, including with the Saints and Browns.
Outlets describe the same core timeline—NFL signings during the offseason, release by Cleveland, and a potential return to the NCAA conditional on clearing waivers—while mainly differing in wording and emphasis. The common point across coverage is that LSU would be the next stop for Wright if he passes the waiver requirement.
