The Damion Ratley book is officially closed in Cleveland. A day after the Browns waived the third-year wideout, Ratley was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants.
Ratley was the only Browns player cut this weekend who was claimed by another team. That means undrafted rookies like A.J. Green, Evan Brown and Bennie LeMay remain eligible for the Browns to bring back to the practice squad.
A sixth-round pick by the Browns in 2018, Ratley caught 25 passes for 344 yards and a touchdown in his two seasons in Cleveland. He lost his role to rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones. He joins former Browns first-rounder Corey Coleman in the Giants’ receiving corps.
