According to ESPN’s Senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, the Browns and Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal that will send WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland.
As a result of the trade, Cleveland is reportedly sending its fifth and sixth-round 2024 NFL Draft picks to Denver.
The 24-year-old University of Alabama product will join a wide receiver room consisting of Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore. The move comes ahead of the start of free agency, where the Browns were expected to target another WR weapon for QB Deshaun Watson as he returns following season-ending shoulder surgery during the 2023 season.
