Joel Bitonio Retires After 12 Years

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Joel Bitonio calls it a career after 12 seasons and Ken uses the moment to remind the young guys on this roster that Cleveland can still be a special place to play, pointing to the outpouring of love for a guy who stayed loyal through some of the worst years in franchise history. The guys break down what the offensive line looks like without him, projecting Spencer Fano at left tackle, fifth-round pick Parker Brailsford as a real candidate to start at center, and Titus Howard holding down right tackle. Ken also revisits the Shedeur Sanders quarterback debate, warning that starting him week one behind a brand new offensive line could do more harm than good no matter how well minicamp goes.
