Cleveland Browns Free Agency: 14 Players Remain Unsigned as Draft Approaches As of early 2026, the Cleveland Browns are navigating a complex free agency landscape, with 14 key players still searching for new teams just weeks before the NFL Draft. The Browns entered the offseason with 26 pending free agents, but only a handful have secured new deals, leaving the majority in limbo. This situation reflects the team’s ongoing transition following a coaching change and the need to rebuild key positions while managing financial constraints. The Browns’ most notable signings have focused on external additions, including guards Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins, and linebacker Quincy Williams. However, the team’s decision to re-sign reserve offensive lineman Teven Jenkins on a one-year, $4 million contract has drawn attention. This move highlights the Browns’ strategy to prioritize depth over long-term commitments, even as they face challenges in retaining high-profile players. Among the Browns’ most prominent free agents, tight end David Njoku remains a focal point. Despite a brief visit with the Baltimore Ravens and rumored interest from the Miami Dolphins, Njoku’s future is uncertain. The emergence of Harold Fannin Jr. as the team’s primary tight end has reduced the likelihood of a multi-year deal for Njoku. A return to Cleveland on a one-year contract is still possible, but the Browns may prioritize drafting a replacement, leaving Njoku to explore other options. Guard Jack Conklin, entering his age-32 season, faces an uncertain future. His limited playing time over the past three seasons due to injuries has made a return to Cleveland unlikely. The Browns’ trade for Tytus Howard has further diminished Conklin’s value, though a reunion with coach Kevin Stefanski could still be a possibility.#elgton_jenkins #cleveland_browns #zion_johnson #quincy_williams #teven_jenkins
