Malachi Corley: Everything you need to know

Corley signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Cleveland on Monday. Corley joined Cleveland late last August after being waived by the Jets. The Western Kentucky product ended up playing 13 games with the Browns, recording 11 receptions (on 14 targets) for 79 yards. Corley also featured as the team's lead kick returner, taking 21 returns for 492 yards. He'll likely fill a similar role during the upcoming season.

Cleveland placed an exclusive rights free-agent tender on Corley on Wednesday. After being cut by the Jets following the preseason, Corley latched on with the Browns and appeared in 13 regular-season games last season. Corley logged 194 offensive snaps and caught 11 of 14 targets for 79 yards while adding 127 rushing yards on 13 carries. Corley will compete for a job under new coach Todd Monken this offseason.

Corley caught both of his targets for 20 yards and had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18. As has often been the case this season with the Browns, Corley saw work as a receiver and runner, and this was the eighth time in 13 games he was used in both roles. He latched on with Cleveland after being cut by the Jets prior to the start of the regular season, and finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and 13 carries for 127 yards, while averaging 23.4 yards on 21 kickoff returns. Cleveland is expected to make significant changes this offseason, and the free agent wideout may not be part of the 2026 picture.
