Browns re-sign a kicker despite poor performance in 2021

The Cleveland Browns had needs on special teams when the offseason began. Both parts of the kicking game struggled in 2021 and the return game was limited at best. The team also had discipline issues in covering kicks at times.

Needless to say, Mike Priefer’s unit has gotten some attention this offseason. Jakeem Grant was added early in free agency to provide a boost to the team’s return game. Monday, the team added punter Corey Bojorquez who graded out well last year and boomed an 82-yard punt.

As discussed in the Bojorquez piece, the kicking game still needed to find someone to make field goals and extra points. The options in free agency this late in the offseason were quite limited while the NFL draft seemed to have some options if the team was willing to use an asset there.
