BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns released quarterback Tyler Huntley, who was signed as a free agent in March after the team was ravaged by injuries last season and started five QBs. Huntley became the odd-man out after second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson had a strong camp and preseason. The Browns will head into their season opener with three QBs: starter Deshaun Watson, backup Jameis Winston and Thompson-Robinson, who made three starts as a rookie in 2023. The Browns also restructured Watson's contract for the third time. Cleveland is converting $44.79 million of Watson's $46 million base salary this season into a signing bonus.
