Howard was a first-round pick of the Texans in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Alabama State and has started 93 games since then. The moves don't come as a surprise to Howard, as they were expected given the Texans' need to revamp and prepare contracts for younger talent.

“I wasn’t surprised,” Howard said to KPRC-2 TV in Houston after the news broke. “They’re trying to get younger and pay some guys. I ain’t mad. I kind of knew it was going to happen.”

“I just appreciate the support over the last seven years,” Howard added. “I’ll always be a Texan forever. I’m excited to go to Cleveland and turn the city up and help change the program and win some games.”

The Browns have only one starting offensive lineman under contract for 2026: Dawand Jones, a 24-year-old fourth-round pick in 2023. Jones is recovering from an injury to his LCL and hamstring.
