Browns trade for Texans' Tytus Howard; give tackle $63M extension
The Browns secured versatile right tackle Tytus Howard with a three-year, $63 million extension to reinforce an offensive line facing multiple departures and free agency losses.
- On March 2, 2026 the Cleveland Browns traded for Texans starting right tackle Tytus Howard in exchange for a fifth-round pick and agreed to a three-year, $63 million extension.
- With several starters pending free agency, Cleveland entered the offseason needing offensive-line help after injuries and Jones' third straight season-ending injury, prompting a trade, Berry said.
- Versatile on the line, Howard logged 555 snaps at right tackle, 334 at left guard and 132 at right guard in 2025 while Pro Football Focus recorded zero sacks allowed, allowing one quarterback hit and 25 hurries.
- The direct result is that Cleveland reduces draft assets to nine picks, fills one starting offensive-line spot, and begins an offseason offensive-line overhaul.
- Looking ahead, Cleveland could still pursue a first-round tackle while Houston plans to overhaul its line via free agency and the draft; the deal becomes official after March 11.
