Means was signed to Browns' practice squad Tuesday.
Means was cut loose by the Saints on August 29 after spending the first two-plus seasons of his career with the team. The wide receiver was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by New Orleans and he spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a lower-leg injury during the preseason. Means will look to prove himself with Cleveland and earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this fall.
Since New Orleans used a fifth-round pick on Means in 2024, Means recorded a 9-118-1 line on 15 targets in seven regular-season appearances that season before spending all of 2025 on IR due to a lower-leg injury. Assuming he goes through waivers unclaimed, he'll be a candidate to land on another team's practice squad, at least.

The 2024 fifth-round pick has participated in seven career regular-season games, producing nine receptions for 118 yards and one touchdown.
