Cleveland Browns sign Jack Conklin to a new four year deal

Jack Conklin, the two-time All-Pro right tackle, is a much richer man today. That’s because, per Adam Schefter, Conklin has signed a new contract with the Cleveland Browns today amidst the third and final year of his current contract.

Schefter, who spoke with Conklin’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, reported the deal was worth $60 million over the course of the next four years. $31 million of those dollars will be fully guaranteed.

Conklin was the eighth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft after four seasons at Michigan State. He left East Lansing as an All-American offensive lineman. Conklin spent the first four seasons of his career with the Tennessee Titans. He then signed a three-year, $42 million deal to join Cleveland back 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 started all 34 of the career games that he has played for the Browns so far. He only saw seven games of action in 2021, though, due to a torn patella tendon. However, he has come back to play in 12 of Cleveland’s 14 games this season and felt better than ever. That’s why he and the franchise must feel ecstatic to have him locked up there moving forward.
