Browns Extend Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

The Cleveland Browns have finalized a three-year contract extension with linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, worth up to $39 million with $25 million guaranteed. This new deal ensures the 24-year-old will remain a cornerstone of the team's defense following a Pro Bowl season where he recorded 101 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and two interceptions. Owusu-Koramoah, who was drafted in the second round in 2021, faced injury challenges in his first two seasons but emerged as a top linebacker last year. The Browns had been looking to secure a new agreement before the upcoming season, and Owusu-Koramoah's performance has garnered significant praise from coaches and teammates alike. The extension reflects the team's confidence in his potential and growth within the defensive scheme under coordinator Jim Schwartz.
