Quarterback Tyler Huntley, formerly of the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Browns have made a significant change to their roster and ended their collaboration with former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler Huntley.

ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi reported the news on Thursday morning, August 29.

“The Browns are releasing QB Tyler Huntley, a source said,” Oyefusi posted on X. “Cleveland kept 4 QBs on its original roster. Now it’s Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.”

Huntley and Thompson-Robinson have been in fierce competition for the team’s third-line spot in recent weeks, as both played exceptionally well in the preseason.

Most recently, Thompson-Robinson completed 11 of 20 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown in the first half of the Browns’ final preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 24. Huntley outdid him in the second half, throwing three touchdown passes and gaining 146 yards through the air on 17 of 22 passes.

But Huntley – a former Pro Bowler with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 – didn’t do enough to unseat Thompson-Robinson, whom the Browns selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and who had a breakout preseason for the second consecutive year this summer.
