Browns Acquire Tytus Howard, Rebuild Offensive Line

0:00On March 2nd, the Cleveland Browns just pulled off a key trade, acquiring right tackle Titus Howard from the Houston Texans in exchange for A. 5th round draft pick. As part of the deal, they locked him up with a 3 year contract extension worth $63 million. Howard brings solid experience to Cleveland, having started 93 games over 7 seasons with Houston. He turns 30 in May and should anger the line for years to come. The Browns face massive changes of front, with all 5 offensive line starters from last season heading to free agency, that leaves huge gaps they need to fill fast. Right now, Howard steps in as their top lineman, teaming up with tackled the Juan Jones and guard Kendrick Green among a group of reserves. The team has made it clear that rebuilding the trenches is priority number 1 this off-season. Expect more moves soon, as Cleveland reshapes its entire front for next season, setting the state for fresh start on offense.
