Overview

  • The teams completed a player-for-player deal that also swaps a 2026 sixth-round pick to Jacksonville for a 2026 seventh, according to multiple reports citing ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • Greg Newsome II, the No. 26 pick in 2021, is in the final year of his contract and earning $13.38 million after Cleveland exercised his fifth-year option in 2024.
  • Tyson Campbell, the No. 33 pick in 2021, signed a four-year, $76.5 million extension in July 2024 and is under contract through 2028.
  • Reporting indicates much of Campbell’s future compensation was paid as bonuses, which could limit the Browns’ near-term cash and cap exposure.
  • It marks Cleveland’s second trade this week after moving quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals, while Jacksonville made the move days after a Monday night win over the Chiefs.
