The Tennessee ******* ans have been churning their roster over the past couple of days. First, the initial cuts down to 53, followed by a Monday swap of five players.
During the wave of initial cuts, wide receiver Bryce Oliver was an unexpected cut, with the ******* ans initially keeping wide receiver Xavier Restrepo as the team's sixth receiver. That move was somewhat of a surprise because Oliver has developed into one of the elite special teamers on the roster.
After not being added to the initial ******* ans' 17-man practice squad, many wondered when/if it would happen, and now we know why. Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated reports that Oliver has signed with the Cleveland Browns and will bring his special-teams abilities to their practice squad.
Former #Titans WR Bryce Oliver is signing with the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, per source.
Oliver was considered a lock by many to make Tennessee's 53-man roster. He was a surprise cut, and now he lands in Cleveland.
Elite special teams player.
While losing Oliver will potentially hurt the ******* ans' special teams depth, the decision to initially keep Restrepo over Oliver did make some sense: Restrepo produced as a slot receiver, while Oliver has never truly established himself as a potential weapon on offense. He flashed since joining the ******* ans as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2024, but could never put it together consistently.
