Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The Los Angeles Chargers applied the unrestricted free agent tender on running back J.K. Dobbins, and the Cleveland Browns did the same with wide receiver Elijah Moore, per the NFL transaction log on Tuesday.
Dobbins and Moore are free agents and remain free to sign with any team. The seldom-used UFA tender means that if they do sign elsewhere before July 22, their previous franchises will still get to count them toward the compensatory draft pick formula for 2026.
On the other hand, if they do not sign elsewhere, their previous teams will hold exclusive negotiating rights.
Moore’s tender is worth $3.43 million and Dobbins’ is about $1.1 million, according to ESPN.
Moore, 25, was on a free agent visit with the Buffalo Bills on Monday. The Browns signed veteran receiver Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract on Monday, per reports.
Moore had a career-high 61 receptions for 538 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (13 starts) for the Browns last season. In his four-year NFL career with the New York Jets (2021-22) and Browns (2023-24), Moore has amassed 200 catches for 2,162 yards and nine TDs.
Dobbins, 26, led the Chargers in rushing last season with 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries. In four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2020, 2022-23) and Chargers, Dobbins has totaled 429 rushing attempts for 2,252 yards and 21 scores, plus 59 receptions for 330 yards and one receiving touchdown.
