The Cleveland Browns released defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson, and he has already found a new home with the Buffalo Bills.
Signing with the Browns on a one-year deal this offseason, Jefferson has been a healthy scratch over the last four weeks since rookie Mike Hall Jr. returned from his suspension. Before that, Jefferson was a core member of the defensive tackle rotation but failed to make any impact at all.
After failing to trade him at the NFL trade deadline alongside Za’Darius Smith, the Browns instead opted to release the veteran defensive tackle who could not see the field in Cleveland. And it did not take him long to find a new home.
Now he joins the AFC East-leading Bills and Amari Cooper as he gets the chance to play on a team with Super Bowl aspirations instead of the 2-7 Browns. The Browns still boast a rotation of Dalvin Tomlinson, Shelby Harris, Maurice Hurst, and Mike Hall Jr., however, so they will not be missing him much.
