The Cleveland Browns spent considerable resources in the offseason to solidify their offensive line.
The team signed third-year left guard Joel Bitonio to a contract extension and added center JC Tretter and right guard Kevin Zeitler in free agency. The total bill for that? A little more than $64 million in guaranteed money.
Those three, along with left tackle Joe Thomas, give the Browns four starters on the offensive line locked down heading into the 2017 regular season, leaving just the right tackle position open for a training camp battle.
It also gives the Browns options in case another team comes calling if they suffer an injury along the offensive line, a situation that the New Orleans Saints currently find themselves in after center Max Unger underwent surgery after suffering an ankle injury over the weekend.
