- On June 26, 2025, the Cleveland Browns decided to part ways with defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo following his two-year tenure with the team.
- The release followed Okoronkwo missing three games due to a torn pectoral muscle in 2023 and underperforming with three sacks in 16 games in 2024.

- Following his release, Okoronkwo posted 'Love to the Land' on X and is expected to receive interest from teams needing pass rushers before the next season.
