BEREA, Ohio - The Cleveland Browns have secured a significant boost to their defense with defensive end Alex Wright agreeing to a three-year contract extension worth $33 million, including $21 million in guaranteed funds. Wright, the third-round pick from the 2022 draft, expressed his gratitude and excitement about the deal, stating that it's 'life-changing' and the best fit for him. Wright's impressive performance on the field has earned him a key spot in the Browns' defense. With three sacks and 23 tackles, he's a crucial element for the team, especially considering his growth since suffering a triceps injury last season. Despite missing several games, Wright has shown his value, and the Browns' defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, praised his physical presence in the run game and his ability to rush effectively. The Browns' strong defense has been a standout aspect of their season, ranking first in the league in pass defense and second in total defense. Wright's contract extension is a testament to the team's commitment to developing its players and investing in their future. His return to the field after suffering a quadriceps injury against the New York Jets on November 9 remains uncertain, but his presence will undoubtedly be crucial for the Browns' upcoming games.
