Joel Bitonio Retires After 12-Year Browns Career
Description
Joel Bitonio, the Cleveland Browns’ stalwart offensive lineman and 12-year veteran, has officially retired — leaving behind a legacy of consistency, Pro Bowl honors, and unwavering dedication. Drafted alongside Johnny Manziel, Bitonio even shared a rookie room with his famously volatile teammate, later joking he learned valuable lessons on what not to do. While Manziel’s career fizzled out in just three seasons, Bitonio thrived, becoming a respected leader and symbol of accountability for the Browns. His retirement closes a chapter on a career defined by grit — a stark contrast to his draft classmate’s turbulent path.
