Browns No Longer Waiving QB Kellen Mond After Josh Dobbs Trade

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that the Browns are no longer waiving QB Kellen Mond as had been reported earlier in the day. 

The Browns will instead send Josh Dobbs to the Cardinals in a pick swap. 

Mond, 24, was a four-year starter at Texas A&M and left as the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions, pass attempts, passing touchdowns, and total offense. The Vikings selected him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. 

Mond signed a four-year, $5,223,414 contract that includes a $1,158,847 signing bonus. Minnesota waived him after just one year, however, and he was claimed by the Browns. 

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.
