Browns Acquire Tytus Howard for Offensive Line Boost

0:00On March 11, the Cleveland Browns wasted no time strengthening their offensive line at the start of the New League year. They traded a 20-26-5th round pick, originally from the Raiders, to the Houston Texans for veteran tackle Titus Howard. This move comes as the Browns rebuild after losing six offensive linemen to free agency. Howard brings a ton of experience, entering his eighth NFL season after being drafted in the first round, 23rd overall, back in 20. He started all 93 games over seven years with Houston, playing right tackle, right guard, and left guard last season alone. There, he protected pro-ball quarterbacks like the Sean Watson and CJ Stroud while paving the way for running back Joe Mixon. Players and coaches are buzzing about the fit. Howard is thrilled for a fresh start in a football-crazy city like Cleveland, where he can protect guys like the Sean Watson and make an immediate impact. The Browns see him as a versatile anchor to stabilize the line and boost the offense.

1:02Adding to the excitement, Howard reunites with his former offensive line coach, George Warhop, now with Cleveland. Warhop coached him in Houston in 2022 and is known for his high-energy style that gets the best out of his players. Howard also signed a three-year extension with the deal, locking him in as a core piece for years to come. This sets the Browns up nicely to compete right away and bill for the future on the line.
