Browns Apply Unrestricted Free-Agent Tender To Elijah Moore

2 days ago

The Cleveland Browns applied the seldom-used unrestricted free-agent tender to wide receiver Elijah Moore on Monday, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Moore will still count as part of the compensatory free agent if he signs with another team before this year's compensatory formula deadline on June 21. If he signs elsewhere this offseason, his tender carries a value of $3.428 million for the 2025 season. The 25-year-old took a visit to the Buffalo Bills on Monday and could be close to signing with the organization. The former second-round pick (34th overall) by the New York Jets in 2021 out of Mississippi caught 61 of his 102 targets for 538 yards and just one touchdown in 17 games (13 starts) in 2024 in his second year in Cleveland. Even if he were to sign in Buffalo, Moore would have a limited fantasy ceiling, having never gone over 640 yards or five TDs in his four years in the league.
