"On the final cutdown instead of retaining the norm of 10 players, the franchise kept only nine from this group: C Ethan Pocic, C/OG Nick Harris, C/OG Luke Wypler, LG Joel Bitonio, RG Wyatt Teller, LT Jed Wills, LT Dawand Jones, RT Jack Conklin, and RT James Hudson."

2023
"His patience early on in his playing career has paid off for the Browns; who is the second-longest tenured player on the roster behind LG Joel Bitonio."

2022
"Joel Bitonio stood by and further explained the "Cleveland against the world" comments he made shortly after the Browns' first preseason game."

2021
"After massive blocks by Browns' guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller, Chubb dashed 70 yards for a TD."

2020
"Browns left guard Joel Bitonio has been named to the team as an injury replacement."

2019
"But Browns guard Joel Bitonio is up for the challenge of keeping his quarterback unscathed."

2018
"Left guard Joel Bitonio is willing, but not eager to succeed his close friend at the position."

2017
"CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland Browns guard Joel Bitonio has signed a multiyear contract extension."

2016
"The success of Zack Martin, Joel Bitonio, Brandon Scherff and Kyle Long has made the prospect of moving from tackle in college to guard in the NFL more appealing to both player and team."

2015
"Left guard Joel Bitonio said 'you can tell' Manziel wants to be good and 'works his tail off' in the weight room."

2014
"Although the rest of the Browns' 2014 class looks rather promising with offensive tackle Joel Bitonio and linebacker Chris Kirksey, a regime change could be on the way in Cleveland if Farmer flubs the 2015 draft."
