Browns Extend DE Alex Wright on Three-Year, $33 Million Deal

The move signals Cleveland’s intent to secure its defensive core during a 2-8 season.

Overview

  • Agent announcements confirmed a $33 million extension with $21 million guaranteed for the 25-year-old edge rusher.
  • The agreement keeps Wright under contract through the 2028 season, avoiding unrestricted free agency this offseason.
  • Through nine appearances in 2025, Wright has 24 tackles, nine tackles for loss, three sacks and a forced fumble.
  • Wright is recovering from a quad injury and missed the last game after returning from a 2024 torn triceps, but he has not been placed on injured reserve.
  • Analysts note the deal tightens the Browns’ 2026 cap outlook, raising pressure to address large contracts such as Deshaun Watson’s projected hit.
