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."

2017

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."
