Hamlett (leg) has signed with the Seattle Dragons of the XFL.
EDGE Analysis
Hamlett broke his leg in the 2017 preseason and hasn't played in the NFL since. He has just one career reception -- a 17-yard touchdown catch -- and he'll look to revitalize his career in the XFL.

Hamlett (leg) was waived by the Cowboys on Thursday after reaching an injury settlement.
EDGE Analysis
Since he suffered a broken fibula, there's a slim chance he makes a recovery by the end of the regular season, but he is now eligible to search for a new employer. Hamlett has one career target: a 17-yard touchdown catch for Cleveland in 2016.

Hamlett caught one pass (one target) for a 17-yard touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Hamlett was activated off the practice squad earlier this week due to injuries to tight ends Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValve (knee) and was able to make his mark with his first NFL touchdown reception. Gary Barnidge is still the man in Cleveland, but Hamlett could ultimately turn into a red-zone threat.

Coach Hue Jackson said that Hamlett is primed to carve out a role in his first game on the active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamlett was one of team's final cuts prior to trimming the roster to 53-men. While it's difficult to interpret whether Hamlett's role will come via the offense or special teams, his production could be something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Hamlett has been promoted to the Browns' active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValave (knee) both injured, the Browns have a clear need for depth at tight end behind starter Gary Barnidge. The team thus promoted Hamlett from the practice squad, perhaps setting him up to appear in an NFL game for the first time. He's still a long ways away from warranting fantasy consideration.

Hamlett is listed as the team's fourth-string tight end, according to the team's official website.
EDGE Analysis
As recently as last week, Hamlett was listed as the backup to Gary Barnidge, but that may have been an oversight, as Randall Telfer and Seth DeValve are now ahead of him on the depth chart. The 24-year-old will most likely be looking for a new team when the Browns cut their roster to 53.
