Browns' Ronnie Hickman's Tender Deal Clarified

Hickman’s tender is a right of first refusal, not a second-round level as initially reported. That sets his deal around one year, $3.26M. If another team offers more, Cleveland can match to retain him for 2026. If not, Hickman could walk with no compensation, leaving free safety as a major concern for a Browns defense already thin at the position.
