US EditionBrowns’ Alex Wright Reportedly Agrees to $33 Million Extension
Wright, recovering from a quad injury, earned a $21 million guaranteed extension as the Browns secure a key defensive end with three sacks this season.
- On Thursday, the Cleveland Browns agreed to a three-year contract extension with defensive end Alex Wright, a deal worth $33 million with $21 million guaranteed, ESPN and cleveland.com reported.
- Having overcome a 2024 season-ending triceps injury, Wright has shown marked improvement in the 2025 season, and Cleveland views him as a long-term piece opposite Myles Garrett.
- Stat lines show Wright has three sacks in nine games, ranks third in sacks, ties for seventh with 23 tackles, forced one fumble, and has nine tackles for loss amid rotation with Isaiah McGuire and Myles Garrett.
- By extending him now, the Browns secure Wright’s pass-rush depth and prevent unrestricted free agency after this season while allowing him time to recover from his quad injury.
- As a 25-year-old and 2022 third-round pick, Wright, out of University of Alabama at Birmingham, has nine career sacks and reclaimed a starting role after ceding snaps to Isaiah McGuire, highlighting Browns' defensive line depth.
