Should I Start Andre Szmyt?

Thursday, June 26, 7:40 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Cleveland Browns have signed free agent placekicker Andre Szmyt to a one-year $840,000 contract. Szmyt was on Cleveland's roster this offseason until the team waived him earlier in the month. However, he's back now with the release of defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo earlier in the day. The Syracuse product has yet to attempt a kick on an NFL field, but will compete with veteran teammate Dustin Hopkins for the Browns' starting job. In college, Szmyt was 85-for-105 (81%) on field goal attempts and hit extra-point tries at a stellar 98% clip.
