PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 16: Jowon Briggs #97 of the Cleveland Browns rushes the passer during an NFL preseason football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on August 16, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Cleveland sent Briggs and a 2026 seventh-round pick to New York for a 2026 sixth-rounder, the teams confirmed on August 20.
  • Briggs, a 2024 seventh-round pick, appeared in six games as a rookie and logged 13 tackles with one fumble recovery.
  • The addition gives the Jets another interior option behind Quinnen Williams as they finalize their defensive line rotation.
  • Cleveland moved a surplus piece after investing at tackle with first-rounder Mason Graham and veterans Maliek Collins and Shelby Harris.
  • The late-round pick swap fits the typical pre–53-man roster pattern of low-cost depth moves.
