One of the first orders of business for NFL teams in the offseason is to handle the players who ended the season on the practice squad. Those players are not technically under contract to the team any longer.
For the practice squad players or street free agents the Cleveland Browns and other teams wish to keep around to at least start the 2022 offseason, they can sign reserve/future contracts. They are effectively commitments by the team to bring the players back with a chance to compete for spots in the coming season.
Cleveland signed eight of those to reserve/future contracts on Monday:
TE Miller Forristall
OG Hjalte Froholdt
TE Nick Guggemos
CB Nate Meadors
OG David Moore
FB Johnny Stanton
OT Alex Taylor
DE Curtis Weaver
All will be welcomed back to Cleveland once the offseason activities kick off later this winter.
