NFL free agency: Browns make 4 moves official

Still a number of other moves left to be confirmed by the team that have been reported

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly been busy in the first two plus days of legal tampering but, as of 4 PM Wednesday, official NFL free agency begins. Everything that has been reported about what the Browns have done thus far still needs to actually happen with pen-to-paper agreements.

Shortly before the league year started, the team made the return of DE Za’Darius Smith official with his two-year contract. As one of their own free agents, Cleveland was able to sign him before the league year started.

Shortly after the league year started at 4 PM, the team made three more moves official with the words “agree to terms” instead of signed which likely means the signings are pending physicals:

• LB Jordan Hicks
• RB Nyheim Hines
• OL Hakeem Adeniji

On the Browns social media account, they noted Hicks’ history of playing for Lakota West in high school:

With a number of players officially being released this afternoon, GM Andrew Berry could continue to be busy as well as making other reported/rumored deals official as well.
