Before throwing money around in free agency, the Browns tossed some big bucks at one of their own. Cleveland signed left guard Joel Bitonio to a 5-year contract extension Thursday, locking up a player the Browns feel can help their climb from a new low point following a 1-15 season. Although Bitonio’s past two seasons have been cut short by injuries, the Browns view him as one of the NFL’s best young interior linemen.
