Former Saints receiver Bub Means signs with Cleveland Browns practice squad
Summary

Wide receiver Bub Means joined the Cleveland Browns practice squad on Sunday after clearing waivers. The New Orleans Saints released the former fifth-round pick during recent roster cuts. Means previously struggled with injuries, which forced him onto injured reserve during his 2024 rookie season and sidelined him early in 2025. Now healthy, he joins a Cleveland receiving corps that includes Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley, Tylan Wallace, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston. The New Orleans Saints are scheduled to host the Cleveland Browns on November 8. This signing offers Means a chance to compete for a larger role in a new environment following his exit from New Orleans.
