Browns Add LaRoy Reynolds, Demetric Felton To Coaching Staff

The post-draft period of the offseason always features plenty of staffing changes around the NFL. In the case of the Browns, a pair of ex-players are now in the fold.

Former linebacker LaRoy Reynolds and ex-running back Demetric Felton have joined Cleveland’s staff, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports. Felton will hold the title of offensive skill development analyst, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. No retirement announcement had previously been made in Felton’s case, but this news confirms his playing days are over.

A former undrafted free agent, Reynolds managed a nine-year playing career in the NFL. He totaled 123 combined regular and postseason appearances while playing for the Jaguars, Bears, Falcons, Eagles, Bengals and Jets. Prior to this Cleveland hire, the 35-year-old’s only coaching experience was a single season (2025) as the linebackers coach at Norfolk State.

Felton entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the Browns in 2021. He saw playing time for two seasons with Cleveland, taking on a part-time workload on offense and special teams along the way. Felton 27, bounced around to several teams across the past three years but was not used in the regular season over that span. Instead of attempting once more to carve out a roster spot this summer, he will try his hand at coaching.

A new-look staff is in place for the Browns with Kevin Stefanski having being dismissed and replaced by Tood Monken this winter. Former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will not be back after he did not land the head coaching gig. Improved play on offense in particular will be sought out in 2026, Monken’s first year as an NFL head coach. It will be interesting to see how Felton fares during his initial foray into coaching, while Reynolds makes the move to a pro staff for the first time.
