Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-USA TODAY Sports The Cleveland Browns are signing linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to a three-year extension worth $39 million, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
The deal includes $25 million guaranteed for the fourth-year player coming off his first selection to the Pro Bowl in 2023.
Owusu-Koramoah, 24, was a second-round pick from Notre Dame in 2021 and had been scheduled to earn a $1.5 million base salary in 2024 in the final season of his rookie deal.
He established career highs in tackles (101), sacks (3.5) and interceptions (two) while starting 13 of his 16 games in 2023. He has 247 tackles, five sacks, 10 quarterback hits and five forced fumbles in 41 games (33 starts).
"I think with Jeremiah, really from his rookie year, he's always made the high-end plays," general manager Andrew Berry said last month. "He has like matrix-type athleticism where he just has rare movement skills and he can play behind the line of scrimmage. He's fast."
