March 9 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Browns made Kevin Zeitler the highest-paid guard in NFL history when the two sides agreed on a five-year, $60 million deal, according to multiple reports on Thursday.
Zeitler will receive $31.5 million in guaranteed money. His $12 million average per year exceeds the previous high for a guard landed by Oakland's Kelechi Osemele ($11.7 million average on a five-year, $58.5 million deal).
