The Browns are making a commitment to offensive tackle Jedrick Wills for the 2024 season.
Cleveland is picking up the fifth-year option on Wills’ rookie contract, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. That means Wills is guaranteed a base salary of $14.175 million for 2024.
Wills would then become a free agent in 2025, although it’s possible the Browns and Wills will agree to a long-term contract extension long before that. Usually if a team picks up a player’s fifth-year option, that team also wants that player to be a part of the team for years to come.
The Browns drafted Wills with the 10th overall pick in 2020. He started all 17 games last season.
