Report: Texans add Teller on 2-year, $16M deal
The Houston Texans and former Cleveland Browns guard Wyatt Teller agreed to a two-year, $16-million contract that has a maximum value of $23 million, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.
Teller can reportedly reach the maximum worth of his contract through incentives tied to his playing time.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Teller spent the previous seven seasons in Cleveland.
The Texans are in the midst of making over their offensive line. The franchise signed former Indianapolis Colts tackle Braden Smith and veteran lineman Evan Brown. Houston also traded tackle Tytus Howard to the Browns for a fifth-round pick earlier in March.
Addressing the offensive line has been a priority for Houston dating back to the end of the 2024 season. The unit gave up 54 sacks in 2024 and 31 sacks in 2025. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked six times in two playoff contests last postseason.
The Texans' run game was also ineffective last year, averaging 3.9 yards per carry to tie for 29th in the league.
Teller was selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He played one season in Buffalo, starting seven games, before being traded to the Browns where he racked up 94 starts.
