Audric Estime got the boot from the Cleveland Browns on Monday, ending his short, wild ride with the team after just one game played. This isn’t just another roster move, it’s a head-spinning turn for the running back who only joined the Browns less than three weeks ago.
The Brief Cleveland Chapter Comes to a Quick End
The Browns snagged Estime off the Vikings’ practice squad back on October 13, mainly because their backfield was getting absolutely hammered by injuries. Raheim Sanders got put on injured reserve with a hip issue, and both Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson were battling their own bumps and bruises. So, Estime was supposed to step in, right? Well, he was with the team for three games, but only saw action in one. He ended up with nine carries for 19 yards and did manage to punch in a touchdown. That’s it. Barely time to warm up before the door hit him on the way out.
A Whirlwind Tour Through the NFL So Far
Estime’s professional journey has been a whirlwind since he entered the league as a fifth-round selection by the Broncos in 2024. As a rookie, he played in 13 games for Denver, racking up 76 carries for 310 yards and two touchdowns. Then last season, 2025, he bounced around, spending time with both the Eagles and the Saints. Across those two teams, he appeared in seven games, logging 46 carries for 198 yards and another touchdown. Now, just weeks after joining the Browns to fill an urgent need, he’s back on the waiver wire.
