Brows Seek to Re-sign Bitonio

The Cleveland Browns are expressing strong interest in re-signing veteran guard Joel Bitonio, who is taking time to decide between retirement and returning.

The Browns have made it clear they would like to keep Bitonio, who has spent his entire 12-year career with the team since being drafted in 2014. Despite a historically inept offense last season, Bitonio remained a solid pass and run blocker.

Head coach Todd Monken and GM Andrew Berry have both indicated the team's desire to retain Bitonio, with Berry noting the veteran has earned the right to take his time to make a decision.
