Browns Bolster Offense with Surprise Practice Squad Addition
28 Aug
Summary
- Browns sign WR Corley to practice squad after Jets release
- Browns cut WR Diontae Johnson after poor 2024 season
- Patriots' 2022 1st-rounder Cole Strange joins Browns practice squad
As of August 28th, 2025, the Cleveland Browns have made some notable changes to their roster, bolstering their offense with a surprise practice squad addition and addressing depth concerns on the offensive line.
The Browns have signed wide receiver Corley to their practice squad after he was released by the New York Jets. Corley, a third-round pick in 2024, had a forgettable rookie season, catching just three passes for 16 yards and infamously dropping a touchdown pass while celebrating prematurely. The Browns are hoping to revive his career and provide depth at the receiver position.
In a related move, the team has parted ways with wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who had signed a one-year, $1.17 million contract in April. Johnson's 2024 campaign was lackluster, as he managed just three catches for 24 yards, sealing his fate with the Browns.
Additionally, the Browns have signed offensive lineman Cole Strange to their practice squad. Strange was the 29th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, but he struggled with injuries and was eventually released after falling down the depth chart. The Browns are hoping to provide him with an opportunity to revive his career and potentially contribute to their offensive line depth.
These roster moves come as the Browns look to improve their team for the 2025 season, addressing areas of need and bringing in new talent to complement their existing core.
