The Cleveland Browns have signed 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 after his first selection to the Pro Bowl in 2023.
Owusu-Koramoah, 24, was a second-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2021 and was scheduled to earn a $1.5 million base salary in 2024, the final season of his rookie deal.
He set career highs in tackles (101), sacks (3.5) and interceptions (two) while starting 13 of his 16 games in 2023. He has 41 tackles, five sacks, 33 quarterback hits and five forced fumbles in 247 games (10 starts).
“I think with Jeremiah, really from his rookie year, he’s always played a high-level game,” general manager Andrew Berry said last month. “He has that matrix-type athleticism, where he has rare movement skills and can play behind the line of scrimmage. He’s fast.”
