BATON ROUGE - Tight end Dae'Quan Wright has been waived by the Cleveland Browns and could land on LSU's roster, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday. 

Wright played at Ole Miss for head coach Lane Kiffin in 2024 and 2025. He was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent and was then claimed by the Browns, but did not play in their first two preseason games. 

History: the Browns are waiving tight end Dae’Quan Wright and, if he clears waivers, he has an agreement in place for the 2026 season to play for LSU, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln.
