The Browns have placed a second-round tender on running back Kareem Hunt, the team announced.
They also announced tenders for exclusive rights free agents Pharaoh Brown, Dontrell Hilliard and KhaDarel Hodge.
Hunt, a restricted free agent, is entering his fourth NFL season and second with the Browns.
He rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns while catching 37 passes for 285 yards and a score after serving an eight-game suspension.
Hunt can negotiate with other teams, but the Browns have the right to match any offer. If the Browns decline to match, they would receive a second-round pick from the team that signs him.
Cleveland also announced it has released veteran safety Morgan Burnett.
Burnett, an 11-year veteran, started eight games last year in his first season with the Browns.
He made 41 tackles, two sacks, an interception and two pass breakups before a season-ending Achilles’ injury in Week 11.
