Browns Tendered Six Exclusive Rights Free Agents

The following is the list of ERFA’s being tendered by Cleveland:

1. TE Brenden Bates
2. WR Malachi Corley
3. LB Winston Reid
4. LS Rex Sunahara
5. K Andre Szmyt
6. WR Jamari Thrash

Corley, 23, was a three-year starter at Western Kentucky and earned first-team All-CUSA honors the last two years of his college career. 

The Jets used the No. 65 overall pick in the third round on Corley, and he signed a four-year, $6,073,456 contract that includes a $1,237,060 signing bonus and carried a $1,104,265 cap figure for the 2024 season.

However, he was cut coming out of the preseason in the second year of that contract and signed with the Browns in August of 2025. 

In 2025, Corley appeared in 13 games for the Browns and caught 11 passes for 79 yards. He also carried the ball 13 times for 127 yards.
