Browns’ Week 3 Stakes Rise as Deadline Talk Targets David Njoku and Greg Newsome II

An 0-2 start puts Cleveland on a potential seller’s path if it drops to 0-3, with Harold Fannin Jr.’s fast start sharpening focus on tight end decisions.

Overview

  • The Browns host the 2-0 Packers today as underdogs, with Green Bay buoyed by Jordan Love and a pass rush boosted by Micah Parsons.
  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Cleveland could sell at the Nov. 4 deadline if it falls to 0-3, identifying David Njoku and Greg Newsome II as candidates in contract years.
  • Njoku is in the final season of a roughly $55 million deal and has 7 catches for 77 yards through two games, positioning him as a possible mid-round trade asset.
  • Rookie Harold Fannin Jr. has 12 receptions on 14 targets for 111 yards, reinforcing the view that he profiles as the team’s future at tight end.
  • Cleveland’s broader youth movement features rookie quarterbacks behind Joe Flacco and first-year starters on defense, with a difficult stretch ahead against the Lions, Vikings and Steelers.
