Browns Hand Defensive Star $30 Million Extension Hours Before Titans Game
The Browns reward a key defensive star with a $30 million extension just hours before their Week 7 showdown with the Titans.
The Cleveland Browns have secured a $30 million extension with star defensive tackle Maliek Collins, just before their matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Collins, who entered the league as the 2016 Cowboys third-round pick, has been a key contributor to the Browns' strong defensive performance this season, which has included a 4-2 record and first place in the AFC North.
The 31-year-old tackle, who signed with the Browns in March 2025, has shown his value with 16 tackles, five tackles for loss, eight quarterback hits, and 3.5 sacks in six games since returning from a season-ending injury. With this extension, Collins will be in Cleveland through the 2028 season, ensuring he remains a cornerstone of the team's defense.
