The Cleveland Browns have locked up another one of their core players to a long-term deal.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns have signed two-time First-team All-Pro right tackle Jack Conklin to a two-year contract extension worth $60 million. Conklin was in the final season of a three-year pact he signed with Cleveland as a free agent in 2020.

Browns and right tackle Jack Conklin reached agreement today on a four-year, $60 million extension that includes $31 million fully guaranteed, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus, who negotiated deal with @JasonRosenhaus, @RyanMatha, Browns’ GM Andrew Berry and Browns’ VP Chris Cooper.

Conklin has once again been a mainstay on Cleveland’s offensive line which has turned around dramatically under head coach Kevin Stefanski. Conklin’s contributions have star running back (1,252 rushing yards) in the running to win his first ever rushing title.

The Browns have succeeded in extending most of their core players under GM Andrew Berry. Chubb, Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, Deshaun Watson, Wyatt Teller and David Njoku have also signed multi-year extensions since Berry took the GM job in 2020.

Cleveland enters Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns with a 6-8 record. They’ll need to win out and get some help in order to secure a playoff spot.
