Overview

  • The Browns and KC Concepcion agreed on a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract reported at about $20 million, with analytics site OverTheCap putting the signing bonus near $11 million.
  • The signing was completed on Tuesday and makes Concepcion the last of Cleveland’s 10 draft picks to sign, which finishes the team’s 2026 rookie class ahead of training camp.
  • Reports say Concepcion’s deal took longer than other Browns draft contracts because of negotiable details such as guarantees and payment scheduling before the sides resolved those sticking points.
  • Concepcion arrives after a productive final collegiate season at Texas A&M (61 catches for 919 yards and nine TDs) and is viewed by Browns coaches as a versatile, immediate-impact target who can also return kicks.
  • With the contract done, Concepcion can take part fully in offseason work and the ongoing quarterback competition, and his presence could materially affect how the Browns deploy the wide receiving corps and evaluate quarterback options.
