Cleveland Browns, Defensive End Alex Wright Agree to $33M Extension
Wright's extension includes $21 million guaranteed and reflects the Browns' strategy to develop young pass rushers who complement star Myles Garrett in their top-ranked defense.
- On Thursday, Alex Wright agreed to a three-year extension with the Cleveland Browns worth $33 million including $21 million guaranteed, saying the Browns fit and playing alongside Myles Garrett influenced his decision.
- Coaches praised Wright's edge play and physicality, valuing his ability to take on pullers and knock tight ends back, while the Browns emphasized developing young defenders like Isaiah McGuire and Cam Thomas.
- Stat lines show Alex Wright's contributions as both a pass rusher and run defender, with three sacks, 23 tackles and eight quarterback pressures.
- Wright missed most of last season with a triceps injury and suffered a quadriceps injury on Nov. 9 that could sideline him for the Sunday game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Despite a 2-8 record, the Cleveland Browns lead the league with pass defense ranking first and total defense ranking second, making pass rushers' market value and roster depth crucial.
