The Cleveland Browns have reportedly agreed to a contract extension with offensive tackle Joe Thomas to the tune of seven years and $84 million, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal will reportedly pay Thomas at least $44 million in guaranteed money and will more than likely ensure that the four-year veteran finishes his career on the shores of Lake Erie.
WFNY has long said that this offseason should be about extending the contracts of core players, firmly placing the three-time All-Pro offensive lineman at the top of the priority list. Since arriving on the scene in 2007, Thomas has been one of the best – if not the best – at his position which also happens to be one of the more premium spots in the game. The latest move by Tom Heckert et al is undoubtedly money well spent as the Browns look to perennially contend for a playoff spot sooner than later.
