He’s had 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns with the Browns this season.

“We appreciate Amari’s hard work, professionalism and on-field contributions throughout his two plus seasons with us,” Andrew Berry, Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager, said . “He created many memorable moments with us and was an integral part of our 2023 playoff team. We wish him the best in Buffalo as he continues his NFL career.”
