Teller's Departure: Browns' New Guards Face Test

0:00On March 23rd, Wyatt Teller, the three-time Pro Bowl ride guard, has left the Cleveland Browns after seven strong seasons. He signed a two-year deal worth $23 million with the Houston Texans, marking the end of his time in Cleveland. His agent wasted no time chiming it on social media, suggesting the Browns might soon regret not bringing him back. Teller had rotated with Tevin Jenkins last year and missed four games, but his track record made him a key piece of the offensive line. The Browns responded by resigning Jenkins, who show promise with solid, run-blocking grades in limited action. They also picked up Zion Johnson from the Los Angeles Chargers, a versatile but unproven lineman with average pass protection stats over four years, and nearly 4,500 snaps. Teller did have a rough season, allowing 24 pressures, including 3-sacks, which dropped his pass-blocking efficiency. Still, replacing a proven veteran with these two raises questions about the line's stability moving forward.

1:00As training camps heat up, it will be interesting to see if Cleveland's new guards hold up, or if Teller thrives in Houston, proving the old guard was, worth keeping around.
