That convinced the Browns to spend a second-round pick on Owusu-Koramoah the next spring. He went on to establish himself as a cornerstone defender for the Browns over three and a half seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Owusu-Koramoah combined for 20 starts in 25 games in his first two years in Cleveland. He hit the 70-tackle mark in both seasons while totaling 10 TFL and four forced fumbles. Owusu-Koramoah took on a bigger role in 2023, a career year in which he piled up 101 tackles, 20 TFL, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions in 16 games (13 starts).<\/p>\n<p>Owusu-Koramoah\u2019s breakout showing in 2023 led to both a Pro Bowl alternate nod and a new contract. The Browns awarded him a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2024\/08\/browns-to-extend-lb-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">three-year extension<\/a> worth up to $39MM in August 2024. With 61 tackles, 10 TFL, three sacks and a pick, Owusu-Koramoah continued to deliver over his first eight games that season. Unfortunately, it appears that eight-game stretch will go down as his last.<\/p>\n<p>Owusu-Koramoah remains under contract with the Browns through 2027. He\u2019s owed a guaranteed $11.03MM next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah hasn\u2019t taken the field since he suffered a severe neck injury in Week 8&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":769243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[54,7,585],"class_list":{"0":"post-769242","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-cleveland-browns","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116115125107363504","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
