Ifedi, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year contract worth $8,265,110 and set to make a base salary of $1,577,060 for the 2019 season when Seattle declined his fifth-year option.
Ifedi signed a one-year, $1 million deal with Chicago in 2020 and then returned to the Bears on a one-year contract worth up to $5 million with the Bears in 2021.
From there, Ifedi spent a year with the Falcons before the Lions signed him to a contract but was released in August and later signed by the Bills. Buffalo cut him loose again in December.
The Browns signed him to a deal in April and was among their final roster cuts and re-signed to the practice squad. He’s bounced on and off Cleveland’s active roster so far this season.
In 2024, Ifedi has appeared in two games for the Browns.
