Browns Trade for Tytus Howard, Boosting Offensive Line

0:00On March 2nd, the Cleveland Browns kicked off their offseason moves by trading for Houston Texans' offensive tackle, Titus Howard. They sent a 20-26-5th round pick to Houston in the deal, aiming to fix their struggling offense after a tough 20-25 season. Their defense remains one of the league's best, but the offense needs a full overhaul. General manager Andrew Berry jumped on this trade early, as reported by NFL Insider Ian Rappaport to add protection up front right away. Howard, a 29-year-old former first-round pick from 2018, brings solid experience with over 6,000 career snaps. He's been especially strong in past protection, allowing just a handful of sacks over his last two years. What makes him a great fit is his flexibility. He's played mostly right tackle, but also logged plenty of time at left guard. The Browns are taking on his three-year, $56 million contract extension from 2023.
