The Cleveland Browns All-Pro right tackle Jack Conklin had a decent 2024 campaign after missing the first five games to recover from last season’s knee injury and a hamstring injury. Although a little rusty at times, Conklin held his own and managed to play 12 games. He surrendered 38 pressures, 29 hurries, two QB hits, and seven sacks allowed, posting a 67.9 pass-blocking, a 59.6 run-blocking, and a 66.2 overall PFF grade in 817 snaps.

Given his age—he turns 31 in August—recent injury history, and contract, the All-Pro faced an uncertain future. He enters the third year of his 4-year $60 million contract extension and is set to earn a $14 million base salary and a $17,707,466 cap hit in 2025, and a $14 million base salary, a $18,001,583 cap hit in 2026. Since the Browns would free up $7,632,717 with a pre-June 1st cut or $14,705,883 with a post-June 1st cut, many considered Conklin a potential cap casualty this offseason.
