Browns' Offseason: Key Players, Free Agents & Tenders

0:00With the NFL today, March 6th, NFL Free Agency kicks off in just a few days with the legal tampering window opening soon. The Cleveland Browns face a busy offseason, staring down 19 unrestricted free agents, five restricted ones, and seven exclusive rights players. Six of whom have already received tenders. Front office folks are prioritizing who stays to shore up the roster, especially along the offensive line. Top of the list are guys like Guard Joe Baitonio, linebacker Devon Bush Jr., punter Cory Bulljorkez, and safety Ronnie Hickman. Baitonio is a team legend worth keeping unless he retires and resigning him slashes the cap hit. Bush had a breakout year, pairing perfectly with another linebacker, while Bull Jorgez brings steady punting, and Hickman has starter potential on a smart long-term deal. Meanwhile, players like Center Ethan Pasek, defensive tackle Shelby Harris, safety Ray Sean Jenkins, and others such as wide receiver DeAndre Carter.

1:01And Cornerback Martin Emerson makes sense at the right price. Pasek would fill the biggest need up front, and ease cap issues, with these veterans offering solid rotation and experience without breaking the bank. On the bubble are running back to Roamford, Cornerback Traevery, and a few restricted free agents who could stick around cheaply or test the market. But Titan David and Joku, guard Wyatt Teller, tackle Jack Conklin, and others are likely headed out, already saying goodbyes or underperforming. A handful like Titan Brendan Baits, wide receiver Malachi Corley, and long snapper Rex Soonahara, are locked in with tenders, unable to shop, elsewhere. As the Browns gear up under new coordinators, these moves could reshape the defense and line for next season. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor. See the episode description.
