The Cleveland Browns released former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley on Thursday.

The 26-year-old was one of four quarterbacks, along with Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who made it into the original 53-man roster.

Although he threw for 146 yards and three touchdowns in the Browns’ final preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, Huntley was the underdog due to Thompson-Robinson’s strong training camp and good preparation.

Huntley signed a one-year, league-minimum deal with Cleveland after serving as Lamar Jackson’s primary backup with the Baltimore Ravens for the past three seasons.

The former Raven went 3-7 in 10 starts for Baltimore. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 after going 2-2 and filling in for Jackson when he was injured.

Huntley’s roster spot will go to running back D’Onta Foreman. Foreman will provide additional running back strength while the team awaits the return of star running back Nick Chubb from numerous knee surgeries.

Foreman had a scary moment in the first few days of training camp in West Virginia. He had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital in Virginia after experiencing neck and back pain following a hard hit.

Foreman missed a week of training camp but played in Cleveland’s final two exhibition games and scored a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

Releasing Huntley wasn’t the only quarterback move the Browns made Thursday. They also restructured Watson’s contract for the third time.

General manager Andrew Berry is converting $44.79 million of Watson’s $46 million base salary this season into a signing bonus. The move will create more than $35 million in salary cap space.

Watson started just six games last season before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. The Browns were plagued by injuries at the position last year and started five different quarterbacks.

Joe Flacco went 4-1 in five starts and took the Browns to the playoffs before losing to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.

The Browns open their season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on September 8.
