Corey Bojorquez

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Above-replacement production at the punter salary tier earns Corey Bojorquez a C Contract Value Index. His 2025 season of 17 games demonstrated the consistency that Cleveland values, yet the performance grade of C- reflects a specialist role that, while reliable, doesn't command premium compensation or move the needle on roster construction. At $2 million AAV on a one-year deal, Bojorquez sits squarely in the mid-tier punter market—not overpaid, but not a bargain either, offering the Browns organizational continuity at a position where repetition and familiarity with long-snappers and holders matter. At 29 years old in his eighth professional season, he's an established veteran past his ceiling for major individual recognition; the re-signing signals Cleveland's preference for a known quantity over gambling on draft capital at the position, a pragmatic choice for a team navigating roster stability. The media has framed his return as a straightforward, drama-free move that reflects confidence in his professionalism and reliability—the kind of understated competence that doesn't generate headlines but keeps special teams operating without distraction. On a one-year contract with minimal commitment risk, the CVI grade reflects fair value for what Bojorquez provides: a dependable specialist who earns his salary without excess but doesn't create cap flexibility or strategic leverage for future moves.

Performance Analysis

Corey Bojorquez is an eight-year NFL veteran and the Cleveland Browns' primary punter with 124 career appearances. As an established backup-caliber leg, he provides stability in a critical roster position. However, his 2025 season has been marked by notable decline, dropping from a C+ grade in 2023 to an F this year. Bojorquez's current season metrics reveal significant underperformance relative to league standards. His net punt average sits at 36.8 yards, well below the NFL benchmark of 41.74 and far from the elite threshold of 46.04 yards. His gross punt average of 45.8 yards also trails the 47.57 NFL average, indicating consistency issues with both distance and directional placement. The downward trajectory—from a respectable C in 2024 to this year's struggling grade—suggests either physical decline, mechanical concerns, or environmental factors affecting performance. Despite the current downturn, Bojorquez's eight-year track record indicates he remains a capable NFL contributor when healthy. His body of work demonstrates he has performed at league-average or slightly-below-average standards throughout his career, making this season's performance an outlier requiring monitoring. Moving forward, the Browns must evaluate whether this decline represents age-related regression or a correctable mechanical issue. If Bojorquez cannot rebound to his C-grade baseline by season's end, Cleveland should explore veteran alternatives or draft replacements in the offseason.

Fan Sentiment

Browns retain a proven punter on a reasonable one-year deal. Multiple outlets confirm continuity under new special teams coach leadership. The $2M contract reflects solid average punter market value, not an upgrade. Fans largely view this as stable maintenance rather than meaningful improvement. Bojorquez stays put, giving Cleveland punting consistency heading into 2026.
