Browns extend tenders to six different Exclusive Rights Free Agents

[ASFN Admin]

With NFL free agency getting set to begin on Monday, the Cleveland Browns are getting out in front of it a bit by giving tenders to six of their exclusive rights free agents.

A player is deemed to be a restricted free agent if they hit the market with less than four accrued seasons to their name. So, undrafted free agents who typically only get three-year deals are a great example of this. By the time they hit the free agency market again, they have not been in the NFL for four years, giving them the exclusive tag.

Browns starting safety Ronnie Hickman is a good example of this, and a player who was not among the six who were given tenders ahead of NFL free agency. So, who were the six that received exclusive rights tenders from the Browns ahead of Monday's extravaganza?
