Former Saints draft pick gets fresh start on new team's practice squad
Former New Orleans Saints WR Bub Means cleared waivers but signed with the Cleveland Browns. It's a fresh start for the former fifth-round draft pick.
Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means has secured a spot on the Cleveland Browns' practice squad after being released during Sunday's roster cuts, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. This marks a new chapter for the 25-year-old, who initially had promise during his time with the Saints but struggled with injuries. Means' 2024 rookie season concluded on injured reserve, and a preseason injury prematurely ended his 2025 campaign.
Now healthy, he aims to make an impact in his new team's practice squad. The Browns bolstered their receiving corps by drafting KC Concepcion in the first round, Denzel Boston in the second, and retaining stars like Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley, and Tylan Wallace. Despite a shaky quarterback situation, the team looks promising.
The Saints face the Browns on Sunday, November 8, following their bye week and a road trip against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Means might find himself on the opposing lineup during this matchup. This story first ran on Saints Wire.
