Jaguars Set to Debut Greg Newsome After Cornerback Swap With Browns

Jacksonville pursued the man-coverage standout for Campanile's scheme after sending Tyson Campbell to Cleveland.

Overview

  • Cleveland traded Greg Newsome II and a 2026 sixth-round pick to Jacksonville for Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh, with the Browns gaining a more cap-manageable deal in Campbell, who is signed through 2028 with a low-penalty out after 2026.
  • Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile praised Newsome’s versatility and man-to-man skills, calling himself really excited about the addition.
  • PFF grades this season rate Newsome higher overall than Campbell despite Campbell logging more tackles and pass breakups, with Newsome allowing no touchdowns on fewer targets.
  • Newsome said his agent told him Jacksonville initiated the trade interest, reinforcing the Jaguars’ targeted pursuit.
  • Newsome is expected to make his Jaguars debut against the Seahawks, though his snap count remains uncertain as he learns the defense.
