Browns Land Elgton Jenkins on Two-Year, $24 Million Deal as O-Line Overhaul Accelerates

Cleveland beat out multiple suitors for the two-time Pro Bowler, who was released by Green Bay with a failed-physical designation after a fractured fibula.

Overview

  • The agreement includes about $20 million guaranteed, a $9.6 million signing bonus and per-game active roster bonuses, per multiple reports.
  • Green Bay cut Jenkins as a cap move after seven seasons, and he brings rare versatility with NFL starts at guard, center and tackle.
  • The Texans and Ravens pursued Jenkins, but the Browns secured him after GM Andrew Berry explored a trade and chose to wait for his release, according to reporting.
  • Cleveland also traded for right tackle Tytus Howard, re-signed Teven Jenkins and agreed to terms with guard Zion Johnson, materially reshaping four line spots.
  • Left tackle remains the primary vacancy heading into the draft, with the team holding two first-round picks to address the position.
