Andre Szmyt - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Coming back to Cleveland Szmyt signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Browns on Monday.

Impact Szmyt had a successful first NFL campaign last season, converting 24 of 27 field-goal attempts (including going 5-of-6 from 50-plus yards) and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. He didn't miss a field goal following the Browns' Week 9 bye, going 14-for-14 over the team's final nine games. Szmyt will head into training camp as Cleveland's clear primary kicker.

Tendered as ERFA The Browns extended Szmyt an exclusive rights free agent tender Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Overcomes shaky debut Szmyt went 24-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 25-for-26 on extra-point tries across 17 games with the Browns in 2025.

Impact 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 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.

Makes all kicks in loss 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.

Impact The 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.

One kick in defeat Szmyt made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.

Impact Szmyt was held to one or zero field-goal attempts for the fourth week in a row, making the most of his only kick in Week 15, converting a 50-yarder in the third quarter. The kicker has now gone 18-for-21 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 20 of 21 PATs over 14 games during his rookie campaign so far.

Held to five points in loss Szmyt converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.

Impact 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.

Kickless in defeat Szmyt did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Szmyt went without a field-goal try for the first time this year, and he didn't garner an extra-point attempt for the first time since Week 6. The rookie will look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Titans, in what may be the Browns' most winnable remaining contest this season.

Impact Szmyt made his mark in the fourth quarter, nailing a 53-yard field goal to give Cleveland a 17-3 lead.
