Browns' Andre Szmyt: Tendered as ERFA
The Cleveland Browns extended Andre Szmyt an exclusive rights free agent tender Wednesday.Szmyt will return to Cleveland on a one-year deal for 2026, an unsurprising transaction after his solid 2025 campaign with the team. Across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, Szmyt converted 24 of 27 field-goal attempts and 25 of 26 on extra-point tries. He projects to reprise his role as the Browns' top placekicker in 2026, though unless the team's offense can take a notable step forward under new head coach Todd Monken, it will be difficult for Szmyt to see the type of scoring opportunities required to be a difference-maker for fantasy purposes.

Browns' Andre Szmyt: Overcomes shaky debut
Andre Szmyt went 24-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 25-for-26 on extra-point tries across 17 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2025.Szmyt did not kick in a regular-season game in two years after joining the league in May of 2023. However, he managed beat out Dustin Hopkins for the Browns' starting kicking job for 2025 after a strong preseason. Szmyt had a shaky NFL debut against the Bengals in Week 1, when he missed a field goal and an extra-point try in a 17-16 loss. He settled down after his debut, and after the Browns' Week 9 bye, he made all 14 of his field-goal attempts (including three makes from 50-plus yards) and all 13 of his point-after tries across nine games. Szmyt enters the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he'll likely kick for the Browns in 2026.

Browns' Andre Szmyt: Makes all kicks in loss
Andre Szmyt was successful on two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.The Cleveland Browns' offense played about as well as it could, and it led to Szmyt recording eight points, his third most this season and best since Week 10. Unfortunately for Szmyt and Cleveland's offense, running back Quinshon Judkins suffered season-ending leg and ankle injuries, which will impact the kicker's opportunities to score going forward. He's been successful on 20 of 23 field-goal attempts and 22 of 23 extra-point kicks.

Browns' Andre Szmyt: Held to five points in loss
Andre Szmyt converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.Szmyt, who rebounded from a zero-point effort in Week 13, could have had a couple more points, but Cleveland opted to go for two points after each of its two fourth-quarter touchdowns. His make came from 38 yards out. The rookie kicker has been successful on 85 percent (17-of-20) of his tries, but Cleveland's poor offense rarely puts him in the position to be of great value for a fantasy team. Szmyt's 20 field-goal attempts ranks 29th in the NFL.
