Browns Signing TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden

Mitchell-Paden, 27, originally signed on with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic in 2022. He was among Cleveland’s final roster cuts as a rookie and re-signed with the team’s practice squad. 

He bounced on and off Cleveland’s practice squad in 2023 before signing with the Ravens’ practice squad in 2024. He also was on and off Baltimore’s practice squad last season but was let go in October and claimed by the Saints.

From there, he was among the Saints’ final roster cuts this year and spent the first two months of the season on the Texans’ practice squad before being let go in November.

In 2025, Mitchell-Paden appeared in eight games for the Ravens and Saints and recorded two receptions on three targets for 17 yards.
