Browns Sign Tucker to Four-Year Extension

10 minutes ago


BEREA, Ohio - Right tackle Ryan Tucker signed a
four-year contract extension through 2009 with
Cleveland on Saturday after a season in which he
was the Browns' only offensive player to start
all 16 games.



The extension is part of an effort by the Browns
to sign their more productive veterans to
long-term deals.


"His leadership and resiliency are such positive
attributes, and his dedication and work ethic
exemplify what it takes to excel at the highest
level," coach Butch Davis said.


Tucker, 28, signed with the Browns as a free
agent in 2002 after five years with the St. Louis
Rams (news) that included a win over Tennessee in
the 2000 Super Bowl. He has made 30 starts at
right tackle for Cleveland the last two seasons,
missing two games in 2002 with a knee injury.
