Just as everyone thought, the wild, wild west days of college football were behind them, and a new chapter begins. The latest development in player eligibility may be the wildest yet.
This week, a group of former college football players was granted a temporary restraining order after a federal judge in Louisiana ruled in their favor. The ruling allows them to enter the transfer portal, even though some of them are on NFL rosters.
One of those players was Cleveland Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright.
CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz shared on Thursday that Wright had entered the NCAA transfer portal. Wright's decision comes after the ruling gave players seven days to enter the portal while regaining a year's worth of eligibility.
Wright went undrafted in April's 2026 NFL Draft and initially signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. They released him, and he signed with the Browns on August 11. Wright was on the Browns' roster for their first preseason game of the year last Saturday, but he did not play.
