As exclusive rights free agents, the tender is essentially a one-year contract at the league minimum based on the number of accrued seasons (less than 3) and if executed those players cannot negotiate with other teams.

The Browns have tendered the following exclusive rights free agents:
TE Brenden Bates
WR Malachi Corley
LB Winston Reid
LS Rex Sunahara
K Andre Szmyt
WR Jamari Thrash

As he put it "I don't know any other way"

Mike Rutenberg was asked about winning over the guys in the defensive room, who had an affinity for Jim Schwartz.

For him it all comes down to relationship building:

Browns STC Byron Storer about how to turn the special teams units around: We're gonna master the basics. We're going to be fundamentally and technically sound and then go from there.

Made it clear he believes in a lot of the players who are here.

New Browns OC Travis Switzer on how Shedeur Sanders fits the offensive they want to run: He's certainly mobile enough to run our offense

New Browns OC Travis Switzer says the first word he thinks of with Todd Monken is "passion."

Says: He would have been a great HC anywhere, he is perfect for here. And I truly believe that. The city is going to see his passion.

New Browns OC Travis Switzer says leadership and decision-making are the two biggest traits they'll prioritize at QB.

New Browns OC Travis Switzer says he's excited about the QBs they have in the room rn. Echoes Todd Monken that you don't take a job if you don't like what you have at the QB position.

New Browns OC Travis Switzer on his relationship with Todd Monken: I think how he thinks and the more we can do that the better the operation will be.

There's not a lot of push back, he's a collaborative guy.

Given how Friday night went and where the Pistons reside in the standings, was tonight a statement by the Cavaliers?

Evan Mobley: "A little bit"

Observations from Cavaliers Playoff-Like Win Over Pistons The Cleveland Cavaliers avenged their gut-wrenching overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday with a 113-109 win at home over the Eastern Conference's top team four days later

Tonight felt like a playoff game at Rocket Arena. The Cavaliers were ready to treat it like one. That and other observations from Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons: roundtable.io/sports/nba/c...

It feels like a playoff game in here tonight and Dennis Schroder has embraced every second of it. A tremendous game from him.

Jarrett Allen is doubtful to return with a knee injury. More Thomas Bryant minutes coming right up the rest of the way.

Evan Mobley's free throw shooting is going to cost the Cavs at least 1 playoff game, Ik it.

And the Cavs promptly hit two threes to open up the second quarter.

Biggest difference in that first half, Cavs shot 1-10 from three, while the Pistons, who are bottom 5 from three this season, shot 3-5

Per Spotrac, Lucas comes with a $1.6 million dead cap hit and over $2 million in cap savings. Osborne's release saves roughly $800k

The Browns announce that they've terminated the contract of T Cornelius Lucas and waived C Justin Osborne.

The Browns have finalized their coaching staff. Last week Todd Monken said they were interviewing candidates for assistant D-line coach and then would be finished. Looks like Ralph Street was the hire there.

Staff also includes Monken's son Travis, who is an offensive analyst.
