Overview
- Judkins agreed to a fully guaranteed four-year contract worth about $11.4 million, making the No. 36 pick the final 2025 draftee to sign.
- He will not play in Week 1, and a Week 2 debut is possible depending on his practice ramp-up and any NFL discipline.
- Cleveland received a standard two-game temporary roster exemption, allowing Judkins to practice without counting against the 53-man roster.
- Prosecutors in Broward County declined to file charges on Aug. 14 citing insufficient evidence, yet the Personal Conduct Policy review remains active and could lead to a suspension.
- A league source says he is not expected to be placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, and the Browns plan to rely on Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson against the Bengals.
