How Browns rookie TE Dae'Quan Wright is heading to LSU after being waived
This is the strangest story of the 2026 NFL offseason so far.
Cleveland Browns tight end Dae Quan Wright is set to make NFL history by potentially returning to college for a fifth year of eligibility. The undrafted free agent from Ole Miss was waived by Cleveland on Monday, but if he clears waivers, he will join LSU for the 2026 season according to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln. Wright and Ole Miss teammate Zxavian Harris, who spent time with the New Orleans Saints, were among the first to enter the transfer portal after the NCAA's recent Louisiana court decision.
Browns coach Todd Monken expressed shock at the news. The first player to potentially play in the NFL and then return to college may face an appeal from the NCAA.
