In what can only be described as a major win for the Cleveland Browns, one of the rising stars in the NFL has been locked up for the foreseeable future. Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, affectionately known as “JOK,” has put pen to paper on a contract extension that solidifies his place as a key piece of the Browns’ defense.
Just a few days ago, in our training camp linebacker preview, we highlighted the importance of getting a deal done with JOK. His stellar performance last season, with 101 combined tackles, 3.5 sacks, 6 passes defended, 2 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble, truly showcased his impact on the field. Not to mention his impressive 20 tackles for a loss, which ranked him fourth in the league. It’s no wonder he earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023 and was recognized as the 18th-ranked linebacker by Pro Football Focus.
The official announcement from the Browns solidified the news of JOK’s extension. The team expressed their excitement over finalizing the deal and securing the services of the talented linebacker for years to come. This move not only ensures continuity and stability for the defense but also highlights the organization’s commitment to keeping their best players in Cleveland.
“It’s great to see that the team and ‘JOK’ were able to come together and get an extension done before the 2024 regular season begins,” said a Browns spokesperson. “Owusu-Koramoah is undoubtedly primed for another big season this year and it’s comforting to know that he’ll be a Cleveland Brown for the foreseeable future.”
Fans and analysts alike are buzzing with excitement over this news. With JOK locked in, the future looks bright for the Browns’ defense. As the countdown to the 2024 season begins, all eyes will be on the dynamic linebacker as he looks to build on his impressive resume and continue making a name for himself in the NFL.
