Teller and the Texans agreed to terms on a two-year deal Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Teller was released by the Browns on March 12 but quickly found a new home in Houston. The veteran guard spent seven seasons in Cleveland, starting 95 of his 101 regular-season games and earning All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2021. Teller is expected to fortify a Texans offensive line that allowed just 31 sacks during the regular season in 2025.
Teller (calf) was released by the Browns on Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The 31-year-old offensive lineman from Virginia Tech missed the Browns' 2025 regular-season finale due to a calf injury, but his release Wednesday suggests he's moved past the issue. Teller has spent the last seven years of his career in Cleveland, receiving All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2021. He's been released with a post-June 1 designation, spreading the hits of his dead cap out into $8.2 million for 2026 and $11.1 million for 2027, per Oyefusi. Expect Teller to be a coveted option by teams in need of interior offensive line help ahead of the 2026 season.
Teller (calf) suggested Wednesday that he won't be re-signing with the Browns this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Teller is scheduled to hit the free-agent market next month and is the latest Browns player to hint that he'll be signing with a new team. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 Draft by the Bills, Teller was traded to the Browns in August of 2019 and was named to the Pro Bowl three times. He has also been a second-team All-Pro twice in his seven seasons with Cleveland. He figures to draw heavy interest in free agency.
