The Browns add depth to their secondary, as they have re-signed unrestricted free agent CB D'Angelo Ross.
Ross is entering his fifth NFL season out of New Mexico. Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by New England in 2019, Ross has appeared in 36 career games with the Patriots (2021), Texans (2023-25) and Browns (2025).
Last season, he appeared in three games with the Texans before being signed to the Browns' active roster from the Texans' practice squad. He appeared in seven games with Cleveland and recorded five tackles and two passes defensed on defense, while adding four special teams tackles.
Ross returns to a room that features Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell, as well as younger players Myles Harden and Dom Jones who provide depth to the position.
The Browns have re-signed CB D'Angelo Ross, who was originally signed off Houston's practice squad in November 2025 and played in seven games for Cleveland. Ross was first signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and spent time with the Texans from 2023-25.
