The former third-round pick never got traction with the team and was pushed even further down the depth chart this offseason.
That said, he’s a candidate to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Bell, 23, was a three-year starter at Purdue. He was named the Big Ten freshman of the year and made first-team all-conference his final two seasons, as well as first-team All-American in 2021.
The Browns drafted Bell with the No. 99 overall pick in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He is entering the third year of a four-year rookie deal worth $5,044,908 that includes a signing bonus of $849,024.
In 2023, Bell appeared in 15 games for the Browns and caught 14 passes on 23 targets for 167 yards and three touchdowns.
