Browns waive tight end Dae’Quan Wright as he prepares to join LSU
The Cleveland Browns are releasing tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who has arranged to play college football for LSU after his NFL stint.
The Cleveland Browns announced they will place tight end Dae’Quan Wright on waivers, and the player has secured an agreement to join the LSU football program for the upcoming season. Wright, who previously played at Virginia Tech and Ole Miss, is expected to enroll at LSU, where former Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin now leads the team.
According to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, Wright intends to compete at the collegiate level this year and may revisit NFL opportunities after the season. While a waiver claim by another NFL club could affect the plan, Wright appears committed to the LSU move, which likely includes a name, image and likeness (NIL) arrangement.
The situation reflects recent changes in NCAA eligibility rules that have relaxed restrictions on former professional players returning to college competition.
