The Cleveland Browns made another decision in their crowded quarterback room.
The franchise is releasing veteran Tyler Huntley in the first wave of roster changes after the final preseason game. Cleveland signed the former Pro Bowler on Aug. 4 as injuries piled up among their quarterbacks.
Huntley, 27, spent the 2024 NFL season with the Miami Dolphins and went 2-3 as a starter in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa. In those five games, Huntely completed 86 of 133 passes for 829 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. He had another two touchdowns on the ground.
Huntley attempted at least one pass in all three of the Browns’ preseason games:
at Carolina Panthers (Aug. 8): 6 of 8 passing, 51 yards, one touchdown
at Philadelphia Eagles (Aug. 16): 10 of 13 passing, 71 yards
vs. Los Angeles Rams (Aug. 23): 1 of 1 passing, seven yards
Even with Huntley’s release, there are still plenty of options for the Browns at quarterback this season. Here’s what to know.
