Darden caught his lone target for six yards across 12 games between the Browns (seven) and Seahawks (five) in 2024. He also returned 10 punts for 75 yards and seven kickoffs for 199 yards.

The move makes room for QB Bailey Zappe who was officially re-signed to the roster. Darden, 25, is a former fourth-round pick by the Buccaneers in the 2021 NFL Draft out of North Texas.
