5 Contracts for Cleveland Browns to visit in the next 12 months
By Greg Newland
4. Wyatt Teller, Guard
One of the biggest surprises last season was right-guard Wyatt Teller. After being traded for, Teller has performed at an all-pro level at right guard, and he is severely underpaid making just over $2 million for the 2021 season.
Teller is a great pass blocker, but where he really thrives is in the run game and pulling from right to left to kick out the edge. The Kevin Stefanski zone scheme fits him perfectly. The biggest concern with Teller, can he stay healthy. He did miss five games last season with an ankle injury.
Teller is an easy one to say resign, but the Browns must be careful to not overpay. Unfortunately, Berry can’t afford to pay huge money to every position on the offensive line. While it will be a sad day, an extension with Teller will likely mean letting Bitonio walk after the 2022 season.
Remember, guys like Drew Forbes and Nick Harris are waiting in line to take over as starters. Both have shown at times they have the ability, but just need more time. One of the toughest decisions for a team is letting a start go a year early vs. a year late but look for Berry to stay disciplined.
At age 26, Teller should be a top priority to get resigned if they can keep him at market value.
