The Cleveland Browns did right by left tackle Joe Thomas on Saturday as the team has reportedly reworked his deal to make him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the league next season.

According to Field Yates at ESPN, the Browns added $3 million in new money to Thomas’ contract. The new contract paid Thomas a roster bonus of $1.5 million in the past few days, and includes a $1.5 million raise for his salary in 2018, which brings his base salary to a tidy $10.3 million.

Once you add in his bonuses and salary, Thomas will pocket $13.
