Browns UDFA’s contract seems to all but guarantee his roster spot

According to Spotrac, Fano signed for the most guaranteed money of any UDFA this year at $310,000. No other undrafted free agent had more than $288,000 of their contract guaranteed, based on the information available. Davis reportedly got $115,000, as did fellow CB Michael Coats Jr.

For reference, the most recent seventh-round pick signed by the Browns, DT Jowon Briggs, had just $88,564 guarenteed in his contract. QB Shedeur Sanders had just $447,380 of his fifth-round contract guaranteed last year.

Last year, in an unusual circumstance, Cleveland WR Isaiah Bond got the most money guaranteed among undrafted free agents, the entire $3 million of his three-year contract. After that, the Carolina Panthers guaranteed three different defenders $300,000 each.

The undrafted Fano was expected to be a fifth or sixth-round pick this year after three years at Utah, where he had 18 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks, including 4.5 this year.

Do you think Fano’s contract ensures his roster spot? How do you feel about the brother of the Browns top pick getting the biggest deal among UDFA’s this year?
