The Cleveland Browns plan to release wide receiver Cedric Tillman after three seasons. Drafted in the third round in 2023, Tillman recorded 833 receiving yards and five touchdowns over his tenure. Despite showing potential, he struggled to secure a consistent role in a revamped wide receiver group. The Browns have bolstered their receiving corps with recent draft picks and veteran players, making Tillman expendable. The 26-year-old will likely seek a new opportunity elsewhere.
