Browns Claim QB Kellen Mond Off Waivers From Vikings

The Cleveland Browns have claimed former Vikings QB Kellen Mond off the waiver wire Wednesday, per Field Yates. 

Minnesota had waived Mond despite him being a former third-round pick in just his second season. 

Mond, 23, was a four-year starter at Texas A&M and is the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions, pass attempts, passing touchdowns, and total offense.

Mond signed a four-year, $5,223,414 contract that includes a $1,158,847 signing bonus. 

During his four-year career at Texas A&M, Mond completed 59.0 percent of his pass attempts for 9,661 yards, 71 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He also rushed 438 times for 1,608 yards and 22 touchdowns in 47 career games.

In 2021, Mond appeared in one game for the Vikings and completed two of his three passing attempts for five yards.
