Analysts suggest Cleveland Browns pursue free agent tight end Donald Parham Jr

The Cleveland Browns face external pressure to add depth to their receiving corps as the team continues to rely on Deshaun Watson at quarterback. One suggested target is 29-year-old tight end Donald Parham Jr., who last played for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. Parham missed the entire 2025 season with an Achilles injury and spent time on the Denver practice squad in 2024. While proponents note his 6-foot-8 frame, skeptics argue that his career performance does not warrant a significant role in the offense. The team recently confirmed Deshaun Watson will lead the offense, despite lingering questions regarding his consistency. Cleveland currently seeks to improve its passing game options while balancing the roster's development.
