The Houston Texans have agreed to trade starting right tackle Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
As part of the trade agreement, Howard has reportedly landed a new three-year, $63 million contract extension with Cleveland. The deal, which provides the Browns with significant help on the offensive line, was finalized by agents Malki Kawa and Ethan Lock of First Round Management, per @RapSheet.
Howard, a former first-round selection by Houston, has been a consistent presence on the Texans' front since entering the league. By securing the extension as part of the move, the Browns ensure long-term stability at the tackle position while the Texans add draft capital to their ongoing roster construction. The trade marks a major shift for both franchises as they adjust their depth charts ahead of the season.
