OT Conklin to sign 3-year, $42M deal with Browns

NFL

Offensive tackle Jack Conklin agreed to a three-year deal with the Cleveland Browns for $42 million with $30 million fully guaranteed, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.

Conklin will earn $20 million in the first year and will be only 28 when this deal expires.

After a rocky 2018 season, Conklin started all 16 games for the Tennessee Titans in 2019 and returned to the form that resulted in him being named first-team All-Pro as a rookie in 2016.

He posted a 92.3% individual pass block win rate and was on the field for 94% of the Titans’ offensive snaps last season after returning from an injury-riddled 2018 season.

Conklin was placed on injured reserve in December 2018 with a knee injury. The previous offseason, he had surgery to repair a torn ACL suffered during a January 2018 divisional playoff loss to the Patriots.

Selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2016 draft, Conklin, who turns 26 on Aug. 17, teamed with left tackle Taylor Lewan to become bookend tackles for one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

The Titans opted not to pick up their fifth-year option on Conklin for $12.8 million in May 2019.
