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

  • Both teams confirmed the deal early Thursday, which also exchanges 2026 picks: the Jets’ sixth-rounder to Jacksonville and the Eagles’ seventh-rounder to Cleveland.
  • Jaguars GM James Gladstone framed the move as a push to win now and cited Newsome’s fit in a vision- and zone-based defense.
  • Tyson Campbell joins Cleveland on a four-year, $76.5 million extension running through 2028, while Greg Newsome is playing on a fifth-year option before free agency.
  • Cleveland faces immediate lineup questions, with reports noting uncertainty over Campbell’s readiness for Week 6 against the Steelers.
  • The transaction follows a busy stretch for the Browns, including trading Joe Flacco to the Bengals, as the 4-1 Jaguars turn to Seattle next.
