The Houston Texans have agreed to trade starting right tackle Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round draft pick, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Howard will receive a new two-year, $45 million deal that starts in 2027 from the Browns, his agent told Schefter. His existing contract expires at the end of the 2026 season.
The trade, which cannot be finalized until the start of the new league year on March 11, marks the first move in what is expected to be a major offensive line overhaul this offseason for the Browns.
Only one Week 1 offensive line starter — tackle Dawand Jones, who is rehabbing from a serious leg injury — is under contract for the 2026 season.
Cleveland ranked 20th in pass block win rate and 24th in run block win rate in the 2025 season.
