Report: Browns bolster OL, add Jenkins on 2-year, $24M deal

Former Green Bay Packers center Elgton Jenkins is signing a two-year, $24-million contract with the Cleveland Browns, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.

The Packers released Jenkins on Monday after seven seasons with the franchise.

The deal for the 30-year-old is the Browns' latest move in overhauling their offensive line. The team already inked guard Zion Johnson on a reported three-year, $49.5-million deal and acquired tackle Tytus Howard from the Houston Texans this offseason. The franchise also re-signed Teven Jenkins, who made four starts at right guard for the club last year.

A fractured ankle ended Jenkins' 2025 season in Green Bay after only nine games.

The two-time Pro Bowler has played tackle, guard, and center over his NFL career. Jenkins spent most of his time at guard before transitioning to center last season.
