Browns get tackle Tytus Howard in trade with Texans — and give him $63 million contract
NY Post
Tytus Howard has a new home — and a big new contract.
The Browns are acquiring the right tackle from the Texans for a fifth-round pick and giving the 29-year-old a three-year, $63 million contract extension, multiple reports said Monday. The deal won’t be official until the new NFL year begins on March 11.
Howard provides flexibility to a Browns team looking to overhaul its offensive line as he can play both guard positions.
Dawand Jones, a 24-year-old fourth-round pick in 2023, is the only Week 1 starter from the Browns’ offensive line who is under contract for the 2026 season, and he’s recovering from surgery for an LCL tear and hamstring avulsion suffered in Week 3.
Howard, a 2019 first-round pick by the Texans, started 93 games during his seven-year tenure in Houston, including 16 starts in each of the last two seasons.
The Texans appear to be clearing room as they prepare for contract talks with some of their younger players, something Howard knew was coming.
Coming home is always special for Julian Champagnie because of the reminder it provides.
MILWAUKEE — Miles McBride is in the “slow process” of returning from his sports hernia surgery, a recovery that started three weeks ago and is continuing with no date set for a return.
Ty Simpson said he is a “franchise quarterback.”
