The start of Cleveland Browns free agency has been an interesting one, overall. GM Andrew Berry has remade the offensive line with the additions of OT Tytus Howard, OG Zion Johnson, OG/C Elgton Jenkins, and the re-signing of OG Teven Jenkins. With OT Dawand Jones expected to have some role, at least according to Berry, the Browns have addressed the biggest need on the roster.

Whether it is enough or not will be decided when the season gets started.

Cleveland still has needs as NFL free agency rolls on. Deciding not to tender three contributors potentially opens roster holes. Punter has been an underdiscussed need, as fans and media have noted the offensive line, wide receiver, and quarterback positions over and over again.

P Corey Bojorquez hit free agency on Wednesday, with uncertainty if new special teams coordinator Byron Storer was hoping to get him back. Wednesday night, Bojorquez indicated that he was returning to the Browns via a social media post:

#Browns P Corey Bojorquez, who was set to enter free agency, posted a photo of Cleveland's specialists on Instagram: "The boys are running it back."

In 2025, Bojorquez was near the bottom of the league in Net Punting Yards and tied for the most punts that went into the endzone for touchbacks. Overall, Cleveland’s special teams under Bubba Ventrone struggled last season, which could account for Bojorquez’s down year.

Punter news hardly gets the headlines, but Bojorquez’s post was the only report about his return Wednesday night. Thursday morning, Mary Kay Cabot confirmed Bojorquez’s post:

#Browns P Corey Bojorquz has agreed to terms with the club and is re-signing his contract today, league source tells clevelanddotcom. The #Browns will have their kicking triumvirate back.

How do you feel about Bojorquez returning? Do you think he’ll bounce back with new coaching or the Browns should have looked elsewhere?
