2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ricci was snapped up by the Browns after Carolina opted not to tender the restricted free agent. He's considered a block-first tight end and has experience lining up as a fullback. There's little chance he makes an impact as a receiver and will at best be the third on the TE depth chart behind David Njoku and Jordan Akins. The Browns also brought back Zaire Mitchell-Paden, who has yet to play in the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Joins Browns
Ricci (shoulder) and the Browns agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Ricci spent the last three seasons with the Panthers before the team decided to not tender him Friday, and he'll now get a fresh start with the Browns. The 27-year-old -- who is moving past a shoulder issue that ended his 2023 season -- will have an opportunity to operate in an offense that includes Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb (knee) and Amari Cooper, amongst others.
