The Cleveland Browns have secured linebacker Winston Reid by signing him to an exclusive rights free agent tender worth $960K for the 2025 season. Reid, an undrafted free agent from Weber State, played primarily on special teams during his rookie season, seeing action on 87% of special teams snaps. His defensive contributions were limited, with five tackles in a game against the Ravens marking his standout performance.

In the lead-up to the 2025 NFL draft, the Browns have bolstered their linebacker corps by retaining Reid and Devin Bush while also signing Jerome Baker. With Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah's future uncertain, Reid will compete for a roster spot as the team looks to solidify its depth at the position.
