Browns have four starters set for free agency after Collins’ extension

The Cleveland Browns have four starters entering free agency following the extension of veteran defensive tackle Maliek Collins on October 25, 2026. General Manager Andrew Berry extended Collins' contract just before Week 7's game against the Tennessee Titans. The remaining starters on expiring contracts include quarterback Deshaun Watson, defensive end Isaiah McGuire, safety Ronnie Hickman, and punter Corey Bojorquez. Collins' deal adds to the list of extensions secured this season, which includes cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Grant Delpit. Watson's potential extension could impact the team's plans for the 2027 season, while McGuire has had a strong season, contributing three sacks and five tackles for loss.
