Browns Agree To Three-Year Extension With Joel Bitonio
3 years agoThe Cleveland Browns agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract extension with Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio on Wednesday, one day after signing right guard Wyatt Teller to a four-year, $56.8 million extension. The 30-year-old was previously under contract through next season. The second-rounder in 2014 is the longest-tenured Browns player and has started 104 games for the team in the last eight seasons. Bitonio became the first Browns guard to make three straight Pro Bowls since Gene Hickerson made six in a row from 1966 to 1971. Cleveland's offensive line continues to be one of the best in football, as the Browns lead the NFL with 1,442 rushing yards and an average of 5.28 yards per carry. They also rank first in pass-block win rate and ninth in run-block win rate.
