Browns Eyeing Low-Risk Emerson Re-Sign

On March 27, the Cleveland Browns remain interested in resigning

quarterback Martin Emerson Jr., even after his rookie deal expired.

The 26-year-old hit-free agency following the tough 2024 season and a missed year in 2025,

but his athletic upside keeps him on the team's radar as a depth option.

A few weeks in, Emerson's market has stayed surprisingly quiet with no real buzz from other clubs.

That lack of competition could let Brown's general manager, Andrew Berry,

bring him back at a lower price than expected.

Over three seasons since being drafted in the third round in 2022,

Emerson appeared in 50 games with 33 starts.

He racked up 2.02 tackles, 34 pass breakups, and four interceptions,

showing solid ball skills especially in the second year.

Sure, he's battled missed tackles and coverage lapses at times,

but at six foot two and two hundred and two pounds, he handles tight ends well and adds.

Run support value, that versatility makes him a flexible piece for new defensive coordinator,

Mike Routenberg. With established starters like Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell already in place,

Emerson fits as affordable insurance for a secondary short on depth.

A short-term prove-it deal here seems like low risk with plenty of reward potential.
