Cleveland Browns management completed contract negotiations with eight of their 2026 draft selections on Friday, headlined by offensive lineman Spencer Fano who inked his rookie deal.
The Utah product, selected ninth overall in this year’s draft, secured a four-year contract worth $32.2 million in guaranteed compensation, featuring a $19.9 million signing bonus. The agreement includes a fifth-year option that remains under team control.
During his collegiate career, Fano appeared in 37 contests with 36 starts across three seasons, demonstrating versatility by playing both left and right tackle positions. His outstanding performance earned him the 2025 Outland Trophy, recognizing the nation’s top interior lineman.
The Browns simultaneously finalized deals with seven additional draft picks: Washington receiver Denzel Brown (second round), Florida tackle Austin Barber (third round), Alabama center Parker Brailsford (fifth round), Alabama linebacker Justin Jefferson (fifth round), Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer (fifth round), Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green (sixth round), and BYU tight end Carsen Ryan (seventh round).
Two selections remain unsigned: Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion (first round) and Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (second round).
