The Cleveland Browns have officially signed their first-round draft pick, offensive lineman Spencer Fano, to a four-year rookie contract.
Selected ninth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, Fano’s deal is fully guaranteed at $32.2 million, including a $19.9 million signing bonus. The contract also features a fifth-year team option.
Fano appeared in 37 games (36 starts) over three seasons at Utah, splitting time between left and right tackle. He earned the 2025 Outland Trophy, awarded annually to the nation’s top interior lineman on either offense or defense.
In addition to Fano, Cleveland inked seven other draft picks: Washington wide 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).
The Browns have yet to finalize contracts for first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion (Texas A&M) and second-round safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (Toledo).
