Joel Bitonio Will Return In 2025
The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday that offensive guard Joel Bitonio will return in 2025 for his 12th season in the NFL. After contemplating hanging up his cleats following the 2024 season, the 33-year-old veteran offensive lineman has decided to return for another year. The seven-time Pro Bowler is the team's longest-tenured player after he was taken in the second round (35th overall) in 2014 out of the University of Nevada. He has missed just two regular-season games since 2017 and started all 17 games for the Browns in 2024. "I still feel like I can play in this league," Bitonio said at the end of last season. "It's just the burden of playing in this league is tough." His return will surely be a boost to Cleveland's offense in 2025, as Bitonio was tied for eighth in ESPN's pass-block win rate (94.3%) last year and was also tied for 18th in run-block win rate (72.8%).
