2026 NFL free agency is almost here, and the Cleveland Browns need to add some pieces to their offense after how awful it was in 2025.
One of the lone bright spots was rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., but the tight end room around him is looking a little bare, especially with David Njoku saying goodbye on social media, likely meaning he won’t be back. This means the team could be diving into free agency to find another tight end or two to add to the roster.

Here are three free agent targets for the Browns at tight end.
Charlie Kolar, Baltimore Ravens
The familiarity with head coach Todd Monken and OC Travis Switzer is a major plus when adding Charlie Kolar to the roster. He isn’t a star receiver; he only had 10 receptions last year, but that’s not what the Browns need. They have that in Harold Fannin. Kolar is a great run blocker and would help round out the room with Fannin, who is still a work in progress as a blocker.
If you are looking for a low-risk, high-reward option, Greg Dulcich is the one who has had some injury issues after a strong rookie season. He’s got good size and is a plus-level athlete with very good long speed to threaten defenses up the seam. He has strong, reliable hands and is a very willing blocker who has alignment versatility to move all over the formation, much like Harold Fannin.

Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Another former Raven who is connected to Monken and Switzer has shown flashes of being a major receiving threat. He’s a good athlete with reliable hands and has shown major improvement as a blocker during his time in Baltimore. Adding him to the room with Fannin could help the Browns create a lot of mismatches with the different alignments, and if both continue to improve as blockers, it would create a great room, though you could always add a third tight end as a blocker, potentially in the draft.
