Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright joins college transfer portal
Cleveland Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright entered the NCAA transfer portal after a court order opened a path for him to return to college football, amid recent eligibility rule changes.
Cleveland Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright has entered the NCAA transfer portal, making him eligible to join a new college football program. Wright, who previously spent time on the Philadelphia Eagles roster, is currently on the Browns' active roster.
A temporary restraining order issued Wednesday in a lawsuit where Wright was a named plaintiff cleared a legal obstacle, allowing him to pursue a college transfer. The order follows a recent NCAA rule that limits players to five seasons of competition within five years, which a judge ruled should apply retroactively to athletes who would have been eligible through 2026.
Wright is expected to be available for the Browns' upcoming preseason game on Saturday, although he did not participate in the team's preseason opener.
