Overview

  • The teams completed a Wednesday night player-for-player trade that also swapped late 2026 picks, with Cleveland getting Campbell and the Eagles’ seventh and Jacksonville getting Newsome and the Jets’ sixth.
  • Campbell, 25, is signed through 2028 on a four-year, $76.5 million extension with $53.4 million guaranteed, while Newsome, 25, is on a $13.38 million fifth-year option and is set to hit free agency after this season.
  • The move continues an active week for the 1-4 Browns following the Joe Flacco trade, as the 4-1 Jaguars reshape their secondary and future cap posture after a win over the Chiefs.
  • It is unclear whether Campbell will be ready to play for Cleveland on Sunday against the Steelers, given his late-week arrival and limited practice time.
  • Newsome acknowledged the deal on X, and coverage notes Campbell’s peak 2022 season and subsequent injuries in 2023–24, which factored into evaluations of the swap.
