Browns S Ronnie Hickman a Restricted Free Agent, Kamren Curl an Option

AutoDraft Pro AI

Cleveland Browns starting safety Ronnie Hickman is a restricted free agent, meaning he can negotiate with other NFL clubs but the Browns retain the right of first refusal. If Hickman departs or isn't re-signed, the safety room faces issues, with Grant Delpit as the other starter. Kamren Curl is identified as a potential Day 1 starter for the Browns in free agency, offering versatility and strong run-stopping abilities. The Browns, picking at #6 in the draft, could also target a safety like Ohio State’s Caleb Downs, but GM Andrew Berry is considering free agency options first.
