After signing wide receiver Ra’Shaun Henry on Monday, the Cleveland Browns continued adding depth to the bottom of their roster by inking journeyman offensive tackle Hunter Thedford to their 90-man offseason roster.
The move came after the team released veteran lineman Joe Haeg, which created about $2 million in cap space.
Thedford entered the league as an undrafted rookie in 2021 and has spent time with the Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots, though he has not yet seen action in a game at the NFL level.
He played collegiately at the University of Utah, where he was a tight end in the Utes’ offense. His transition to the NFL came with a position change to the offensive tackle spot, where he is seen as a developmental prospect with plenty of potential to excel if he can continue progressing as a blocker.
Watch for Thedford to soak up as much knowledge as he can over the course of the Browns’ mandatory minicamp, and for him to do his best to justify a spot on Cleveland’s practice squad ahead of the 2023 season.
