Wyatt Teller, a former Bills draft pick who played three seasons with Cleveland after a 2019 trade, has agreed to terms with the Houston Texans. The deal is reported as two years and $16 million, with potential to reach $23 million, ending his time in Cleveland and avoiding a return to Buffalo.
Teller rose to Pro Bowl status in 2021, 2022, and 2023 with the Browns, helping power their offense in strong seasons before a decline in wins over the last two years. Cleveland did not plan to re-sign him this offseason, prompting his departure.
The Texans are actively revamping their offensive line, and Teller’s addition could bolster their interior protection as Houston eyes a competitive push in the AFC. Analysts noted that Teller’s signing fits into broader efforts to strengthen front-line versatility along the line.
Buffalo’s shift at guard comes amid broader roster changes, and the Bills may pursue a versatile inside lineman who can contribute immediately. The league-year moves underscore how quickly front-office plans can pivot as teams pursue improved trench control and consistent run blocking.
For Buffalo, the focus now is identifying a capable guard who can step in as a starter, maintain reliability, and help stabilize the interior for the upcoming season. As remaining free agency periods unfold, the Bills’ approach will be watched closely by fans seeking clarity on their offensive line strategy.
