The Cleveland Browns have signed Isaiah Bond to a three-year, fully guaranteed contract, a move that adds speed and a high-upside playmaker to an unsettled wide receiver group. Bond, who transferred from Alabama to Texas, went undrafted after allegations that were later no-billed, clearing the way for a team to take a chance on the former Longhorn. Bond’s speed gives Cleveland a potential big-play option in a room already featuring Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Diontae Johnson, Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain.

Bond’s collegiate line isn’t explosive on the surface — 34 catches, 540 yards and 5 TD in Texas in 2025, and a career 99 receptions for 1,428 yards across 41 games — but organizers suggest he adjusted his game to fit Texas’ system, which explains the modest box-score totals. Browns OC Tommy Rees, who coached Bond at Alabama in 2023, will help tailor Bond’s use, especially with a limited week of practice before the preseason finale vs. the Rams. The addition elevates competition and gives Cleveland a dynamic speed element to deploy behind Jeudy and Tillman, as they chase meaningful roster depth late in camp.
