Browns HC shares that Lane Kiffin called amid transfer portal chaos

Browns head coach discussed Dae'Quan Wright and his availability to the team while also sharing a fun detail to the transfer portal saga.

As the college football landscape shifted, a new chapter unfolded with a group of former players gaining temporary restraining order status. Granted by a federal judge in Louisiana, the ruling allowed these players to enter the transfer portal, even if they were already on NFL rosters. However, another ruling intervened, creating confusion and leaving the situation in limbo.

Browns head coach Todd Monken addressed the transfer portal chaos during his post-game press conference. When asked about the status of wide receiver Kenny Wright, Monken admitted, "This s*** is crazy." He further explained, "I wondered why Lane Kiffin reached out a week ago… now I know." Wright had completed his college career at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin's guidance before moving on to LSU in a similar role.

Undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Wright initially signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, but they released him before he signed with the Browns on August 11. Wright appeared on the Browns' roster for their first preseason game of the year on a Saturday, but he did not take the field.
