After playing in three seasons for the Green Bay Packers, the Browns front office team of Paul DePodesta and Sashi Brown added Tretter to play center in the offseason of 2017. Aside from drafting Myles Garrett, that may have been their best move as a front office.

An excelled locker room presence, Tretter has started in all 48 games for the Browns over the course of the last three seasons. He earned a three-year, $32.5 contract extension with former GM John Dorsey in November of 2019.

Tretter has only had four holding call go against him in his time thus far in Cleveland and he has played in 3,201 offensive snaps. Recently, Tretter has been named President of the NFLPA as he seems to have the esteem and respect of his peers.
