The team has since extended a qualifying offer to the wideout, meaning should he sign an offer sheet with another organization, the Browns can match the offer, or receive draft choice compensation equal to the player's original draft round if he leaves; in Pryor's case this would be a third round pick.

Pryor only played in three games with the Browns, recording one catch for 42 yards, in his first season at his new position. His future in Cleveland became a lot brighter when the team hired new head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson is known for preferring tall receivers, and has a history with Pryor from his time in Oakland.
