The Houston Texans and former Cleveland Browns guard Wyatt Teller have agreed to a two-year, $16-million contract that has a maximum value of $23 million, reports Mike Garafolo.
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 for yet another season after last year. The Texans have also signed former Indianapolis Colts tackle Braden Smith and veteran lineman Evan Brown. Houston had 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.
While CJ Stroud did not have the best of seasons last year, the Texans offensive line play was a huge part of that as well. Along with the pass protection, 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 of those games, before being traded to the Browns where he racked up 94 starts.
