Dae'Quan Wright - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Could sign with NFL team The NFL is deliberating over whether Wright is eligible to sign and play with a team for the upcoming season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Wright was one of a number of NFL rookies who explored a return to college after being deemed to be eligible to play for a fifth year by a federal appeals court. He was waived by the Browns on Aug. 23 and had an agreement in place to play at LSU, but Wright was ultimately not signed to LSU's 105-man roster. Wright spent time with both the Eagles and Browns during training camp, and he has garnered interest from other NFL teams looking to add depth to the tight end position for the upcoming season, though the Ole Miss product would likely sign with a practice squad if given the green light to play in the league.

Claimed off waivers by Cleveland The Browns claimed Wright off waivers from the Eagles on Tuesday.

Impact Wright is on the Browns' 90-man roster one day after being waived by the Eagles. The Ole Miss product is a long shot to make Cleveland's 53-man roster for the upcoming season, but a strong audition in training camp and preseason games could be enough for him to stick around on the practice squad.

Let go by Philadelphia The Eagles waived Wright on Monday.

Impact The undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss signed with the Eagles after the 2026 NFL Draft. Wright unfortunately had a tough road to the 53-man roster, with Dallas Goedert, rookie Eli Stowers, Johnny Mundt and Grant Calcaterra all locked in ahead of him, with even more tight ends fighting for extra space. Wright will spend 24 hours on waivers, and if he clears will be a free agent able to sign with any franchise.

Signing with Philly Wright is slated to sign with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Wright logged 1,029 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns over two seasons with Ole Miss, claiming the No. 2 spot in program history for career tight end yardage. The 22-year-old was a consistent producer of splash plays, with 12 catches of 20-plus yards in 2025. He has exceptional contact balance as well as an expansive catch radius beyond what his frame would typically allow. Wright's toughness also isn't in question after the tight end played through the entire 2025 season with an injured right shoulder that he suffered in the season opener. His greatest weaknesses are a lackluster frame for blocking and inconsistent playing weight. The tape Wright has displayed portrays him as a strong tight end prospect that can take advantage of mismatches, something the Eagles could utilize in a depth role behind Dallas Goedert. Wright's camp production will likely be heavily weighed against Grant Calcaterra's and Eli Stowers' to determine if Wright is at the NFL level.
