Cleveland Browns cut third-round pick wide receiver Cedric Tillman

Cleveland Browns officials decided to waive wide receiver Cedric Tillman, the 2023 third-round pick from Tennessee, as they finalize their 53-man roster. Tillman appeared in 39 games over three seasons, recording 71 receptions for 833 yards, and started ten games in his most active season. He entered the latest depth chart as a backup behind veteran Jerry Jeudy and rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, both of whom earned starting roles after strong training camps.

The promotion of the younger players left Tillman expendable, leading to his release. Reporters note that several NFL clubs lack depth at receiver, with the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins mentioned as possible destinations for the now-free agent.
