Isaiah Bond officially has a new start in the NFL, signing a three-year, $3.018 million fully guaranteed deal with the Cleveland Browns, just days after a grand jury declined to indict him on sexual assault charges.

The 21-year-old wide receiver, once projected as an early pick in the 2025 draft, was arrested in April after turning himself in on a warrant related to the allegations. Bond has consistently maintained that the encounter was consensual and later filed a defamation lawsuit against his accuser, which was dismissed with prejudice in July.

Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis confirmed last week that a grand jury reviewed the evidence and returned a “no bill”, meaning Bond will not face criminal charges.

Bond, who played for both Alabama and Texas in college, thanked the Browns in a statement following the legal update, promising to repay their belief in him by proving them right.
