The Cleveland Browns have added cornerback Damarri Mathis to bolster their outside depth after losing Martin Emerson Jr. in free agency. Mathis, a 27-year-old who has started 18 of 43 games for the Broncos and Panthers, spent the 2025 season with the Panthers before suffering a season-ending ACL tear; his experience positions him as a veteran option behind starters Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell. The team simultaneously released Dom Jones as part of the roster adjustments ahead of training camp. Mathis’ arrival comes as the Browns continue to evaluate a crowded cornerback group that also includes D’Angelo Ross and other depth possibilities like undrafted players, with competition anticipated for backup roles. Several reports described the signing as a pre-training-camp move to add veteran depth and competition, highlighting Mathis’ background and career stats. These developments follow a series of roster updates aimed at shoring up the secondary for the upcoming season.
