Overview

  • Both teams announced that New York receives Jowon Briggs and a 2026 seventh-round pick, while Cleveland moves up to a 2026 sixth-rounder.
  • Briggs, a 2024 seventh-round pick, played six games as a rookie with 13 tackles, one fumble recovery and 133 defensive snaps for the Browns.
  • Reports note the Jets are thin at defensive tackle and that Byron Cowart has been sidelined by an ankle issue, positioning Briggs as a low-cost rotational option competing for a roster spot.
  • Contract figures listed by Spotrac show Briggs carries a 2025 base salary of about $960,000, underscoring the low-risk nature of the acquisition.
  • Cleveland leverages surplus interior-line depth led by first-rounder Mason Graham and veterans Maliek Collins and Shelby Harris to gain marginal 2026 draft capital.
