2026 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Sal Cannella in 2026. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Height 6'5"
Weight 230
DOB 12/2/1996
College Auburn
Released by the Browns in May of 2026.
Cut loose by Cleveland
TEFree Agent
May 9, 2026
The Browns waived Cannella on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The move corresponds with the Browns signing undrafted free agent Michael Coats. Canella entered the NFL in 2021 but didn't make his regular-season debut until Week 17 of the 2025 campaign with the Browns after several successful springs in the XFL and UFL. He caught two passes (on five targets) for 11 yards across two regular-season games for Cleveland last year and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January, but the Auburn product will now look for opportunities elsewhere, assuming he clears waivers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Tries out for Vikings
TEFree Agent
July 23, 2023
Cannella had a tryout with the Vikings on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cannella spent the 2022 preseason with Green Bay but failed to make the team. He made the All-USFL team with the New Orleans Breakers in 2022. If signed by the Vikings, Cannella would compete for a roster spot at tight end behind T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver.
