Todd Monken questions NFL players entering NCAA transfer portal
Summary

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken expressed confusion over tight end Dae’Quan Wright's decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal while being part of the team's training camp. Monken noted Wright's previous medical issues prevented him from practicing, and he was dressed for potential play. Wright, seeking a fifth year of eligibility, reportedly plans to return to college, with the LSU Tigers being a strong possibility given Lane Kiffin's role as head coach. Wright had a successful season in 2025, recording 39 receptions for 635 yards and five touchdowns but went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
