Cornerback Greg Newsome II #0 of the Cleveland Browns runs on the field during player introductions before the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Huntington Bank Field on September 07, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Overview

  • Teams confirmed the player-for-player deal with a 2026 pick swap: Jacksonville receives the Jets’ sixth-rounder and Cleveland gets the Eagles’ seventh.
  • Tyson Campbell joins the Browns on a four-year, $76.5 million extension running through 2028, while Greg Newsome is in his fifth-year option and can become a free agent after the season.
  • Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Newsome helps them win now and fits their vision-based, zone-heavy defense; Campbell is viewed as a better match for Cleveland’s man-coverage approach.
  • Week 6 readiness is still being evaluated as both corners integrate new playbooks, with reports noting uncertain availability for this weekend’s games.
  • The swap follows Cleveland’s trade of Joe Flacco to the Bengals, reflecting an active roster reshuffle for the Browns and offering Jacksonville added future cap flexibility.
