Ja'Marcus

Bradley

Bradley is not a big name by any means, but this move is a bit of a surprise considering he was active over Rashard Higgins the last time the Browns took the field. With Bradley gone, Higgins should be active against the Ravens.

A fourth-round pick in 2018, Lauletta was let go by the Browns earlier today. In addition, the Browns waived/released WR KhaDarel Hodge, DL Sheldon Day, RB Johnny Stanton, LB Elijah Lee, DL Joe Jackson, DL Cameron Malveaux, DL Curtis Weaver, S Jovante Moffatt, DB Elijah Benton, WR Ja’Marcus Bradley, TE Jordan Franks, TE Kyle Markway, G Colby Gossett, LB Willie Harvey, LB Tegray Scales, RB John Kelly, C Javon Patterson, CB Emmanuel Rugamba, and DT Marvin Wilson.

The Browns have also waived S Elijah Benton, TE Jordan Franks, OG Colby Gossett, DE Porter Gustin, LB Willie Harvey, WR KhaDarel Hodge, DE Joe Jackson, RB John Kelly, QB Kyle Lauletta and DE Cameron Malveaux. CB Brian Allen, DT Sheldon Day, LB Elijah Lee and WR JoJo Natson were released. A 2020 UDFA out of Louisiana, Bentley made an emergency late-season start in 2020 as the Browns were racked with coronavirus. He will presumably remain a practice squad candidate.

Bradley was called up from the practice squad with less than 24 hours until kickoff after the Browns placed their top four receivers on the COVID-19 list. He operated as the Browns’ No. 1 receiver with Marvin Hall also starting in two-receiver sets. Bradley played with guts but isn’t an NFL starter long-term. With Jarvis Landry and company expected to return in Week 17, Bradley can be ignored in most leagues.

With Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge placed on the COVID-19 list, Bradley is joining Derrick Willies as a practice squad call-up behind default No. 1 wideout Marvin Hall. Neither Willies nor Bradley should draw enough looks for anyone to get cute in even the deepest of leagues.
