Tillman, who was in the mix for a depth role, contributed 21 receptions for 270 yards and 2 touchdowns last season. He was selected by Cleveland in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee and was entering the final year of his rookie contract.
The decision comes after the Browns used two early 2026 draft picks on wide receivers, signaling a shift at the position as they reshape the group for the season ahead. The move mirrors typical roster strategy in the preseason, where teams evaluate the depth chart and make room for younger players while considering cap implications and long-term plan.
As of now, additional details regarding the final roster decisions and potential waivers or practice squad designations have not been disclosed. Updates are expected as the league’s cutdown processes proceed and teams finalize their 53-man rosters for the regular season.
