The Cleveland Browns released former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler "Snoop" Huntley on Thursday.

The 26-year-old was one of four quarterbacks who made the initial 53-man roster along with Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Despite throwing for 146 yards and three touchdowns in the Browns' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks, Huntley was the odd man out due to Thompson-Robinson’s strong training camp and preseason.

Huntley signed a one-year deal at the league minimum with Cleveland after being Lamar Jackson’s primary backup with the Baltimore Ravens the past three seasons. 

The former Raven went 3-7 in 10 starts for Baltimore. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 after going 2-2 filling in for Jackson when he was hurt. 

Huntley’s roster spot will go to running back D’Onta Foreman. Foreman will provide running back depth as the team awaits star running back Nick Chubb to return from multiple knee surgeries.

Foreman had a scary moment in the first days of training camp in West Virginia. He had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital in Virginia after experiencing neck and back pain after taking a hard hit.
