Browns sign another linebacker just in time for joint practices with Vikings

The Cleveland Browns are not done making roster moves after trading for a familiar face, center Nick Harris. Now today, the Browns have added another linebacker to the roster, signing former Michigan State, Texas Tech, and UConn second-level defender Brandon Bouyer-Randle.

At the NFL level, Bouyer-Randle has spent time with both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Commanders on their practice squad.

At the collegiate level, where Bouyer-Randle was an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL draft, the linebacker racked up 98 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss, two interceptions, and one sack in his final season with the Huskies.

The Browns have not officially announced the move, or the corresponding move to make room for Bouyer-Randle on their 90-man roster, but there is one coming down the pipeline. While he is extremely unlikely to compete for a spot on the final 53-man roster, Bouyer-Randle can do his best to earn a spot on Cleveland’s practice squad.
