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 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:
