Overview
- Team officials confirmed Thursday that Cleveland has released veteran right tackle Jack Conklin after six seasons with the Browns.
- Conklin missed 44 of a possible 101 games during his Cleveland tenure, including extended absences for major knee injuries and multiple concussions.
- The transaction saves roughly $885,000 in cash while creating about $12.4 million in dead money this season, according to Over The Cap reporting cited in coverage.
- Cleveland’s broader offensive line reshaping has already included a trade for Texans tackle Tytus Howard as the Browns retool the unit.
- The Browns also re-signed punter Corey Bojorquez, who led the NFL in punts and punting yards last season, while Conklin’s next team remains uncertain given his injury history.
