The Cleveland Browns are heading into rookie minicamp with a roster that's nearly complete—and that's a good sign for any team looking to build momentum heading into the season. After a busy 2026 NFL Draft where they selected 10 players, the Browns have already locked up eight of those picks with rookie contracts, including their top selection, offensive tackle Spencer Fano, taken ninth overall.

Getting that first-rounder signed early is a huge win for the front office, taking pressure off as they prepare for on-field work. Here's a quick look at the picks already under contract: (list of signed players).

That leaves just two rookies still unsigned as minicamp approaches: first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion and safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.

So, what's the holdup? For Concepcion, it's a bit of a mystery. The Browns might be negotiating special teams incentives if they plan to use him as a returner, or there could be offset language in play—similar to what we saw with defensive end Shemar Stewart and the Cincinnati Bengals last year. Either way, it's not unusual for a high-profile receiver to take a little extra time to finalize details.

For McNeil-Warren, the situation is more straightforward. Last year, there was a logjam of unsigned second-round picks due to guaranteed money. Every pick up to the 50th overall got fully guaranteed contracts, including Browns' picks like linebacker Carson Schwesinger and running back Quinshon Judkins. Cornerback D'Angelo Ponds, selected 50th, signed a deal that fell just short of full guarantees.

McNeil-Warren, the 58th overall pick, might be waiting for the 57th pick—Chicago Bears center Logan Jones—to sign first. Once Jones puts pen to paper, McNeil-Warren's contract should follow quickly. It's a common dance in the draft world, where players and agents watch the market to ensure they get the best deal possible.

For Browns fans, there's no need to panic. Both players are expected to sign soon, and with the core of the rookie class already locked in, Cleveland is in a strong position to hit the ground running at minicamp.
