Cornerback A.J. Green re-signs with the Cleveland Browns for one year
The Browns made official a move which had been known since Sunday evening when they announced they had re-signed cornerback A.J. Green on Wednesday.
Green, who’s been with the team since 2020, was signed to a one-year deal. He was originally a exclusive rights free agent, but the Browns did not tender him at the same time they did two others, cornerback Thomas Graham Jr. and defensive tackle Ben Stille, back on March 7.
“A.J. has grown up in our system and has gotten better every year since he first joined the team as an undrafted free agent,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said in a statement. “He’s been ready every time he has been called upon and his versatility is something that we value.”
Green originally joined the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State. Over the last three seasons, he has appeared in 31 games with two starts.
Last year was Green’s most productive, as he appeared in all 17 games for the Browns. He recorded 13 tackles and also had an interception of Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow in a Week 8 Browns’ win in Cleveland.
Over his Browns career, Green has totaled 26 career tackles, seven passes defensed and two interceptions on defense, while adding 11 special teams tackles.
