Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright is set to leave the NFL and join LSU pending waivers.
The brief
The Cleveland Browns will waive tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who has agreed to play for LSU as a fifth-year senior. Agents confirmed the planned roster move, which sets up a rare transition from a professional NFL roster back to college football.
Coverage across outlets including ESPN, NBC Sports, Yahoo Sports, USA Today, and The New York Times details reactions to the move. A Heisman winner argued that college football should be ashamed for allowing NFL players to return, describing the situation as gross negligence, while Todd Monken reacted to an NFL tight end entering the transfer portal.
The transition remains dependent on Wright clearing waivers, with the exact timeline of his arrival at LSU not yet specified in available reports.
