Overview
- Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken publicly accepted responsibility for incorrectly saying Lane Kiffin had called him about Dae'Quan Wright and said the remark stemmed from a staffer’s report.
- Lane Kiffin has denied contacting Monken and said he does not know Monken or have his phone number.
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed multiple NFL teams inquired about Wright and said LSU emerged as the likely destination if Wright clears the NFL waiver process.
- Wright is a recently waived undrafted tight end who played his last two college seasons at Ole Miss and must clear waivers and meet any court-ordered conditions before being eligible to return to college play.
- The SEC is reviewing LSU's attempt to add Wright, a move that could be treated as an intraconference transfer outside the normal portal window and that may trigger conference enforcement, roster limits, or further legal appeals.
