Wright, a second-team All-SEC selection who caught 39 passes for 635 yards with five touchdowns last season for Ole Miss, is being waived by the Cleveland Browns and has an agreement to join LSU if he clears waivers. His role at LSU is unclear, particularly with standout tight end Trey'Dez Green, a common preseason All-American pick, returning to the Tigers. Wright will rejoin LSU coach Lane Kiffin and hopes to generate additional tape for NFL teams before restarting his NFL training camp journey next season.

The Cleveland Browns claimed tight end Dae'Quan Wright on August 11th but waived him on Sunday with an agreement in place for him to return to college and play for LSU in the 2026 season, following former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. Wright is believed to be the first player who could play for an NFL team and then return to college; however, another NFL team could claim him off waivers or legal battles could force him back to the professional league.

TE Dae'Quan Wright was added to the Browns in free agency on August 11th but entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday during a joint practice with Buffalo; his roster status remains uncertain pending NCAA legal rulings on his eligibility to return to Ole Miss. The Browns have kept Wright on their 90-man roster despite tight end needs, suggesting they hope for his return to practice and a chance to compete for a 53-man spot in the third preseason game, though additional legal rulings could change his availability.

Browns TE Dae'Quan Wright, added to the roster as a 2025 second-team All-SEC tight end to address depth chart questions after Harold Fannin Jr., is now seeking release from Cleveland following a temporary restraining order that allows him to return to college football. Wright has been absent from training camp at Berea and did not participate in the team's first preseason game, facing an uphill battle to make the roster; the Browns have already brought in two tight ends for workouts as potential replacements.

Wright is described as an athletic tight end but has been inconsistent as a blocker. NFL.com's scouting report notes he is a high-cut, tight-hipped tight end who can stretch the field vertically but lacks fluidity and bend for crisp route breaks from speed; he can gain an advantage on linebackers when aligned outside but is big and strong enough to improve as a run blocker only with better technique and commitment. The report projects Wright as a Day 3 pick who should fight for a role as a TE3/4.

The source reports that the Cleveland Browns signed big-bodied tight end Dae'Quan Wright (6'-4", 255 pounds) from Ole Miss to bolster the group's depth. Wright went undrafted in April's NFL draft, signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, and was recently waived before joining Cleveland. The Browns' current tight end group consists of Harold Fannin, Jack Stoll, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates, and fellow rookies Joe Royer and Ryan Carsen, positioning Wright as a depth addition competing for a TE3/4 role.
