3 more players Cleveland Browns could trade away
By Randy Gurzi
The Cleveland Browns have already sent backup offensive lineman Austin Corbett to the Rams, but may not be done. Here are three more players they could trade away during the bye week
During the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns made some great picks. At No. 1 overall, they took Baker Mayfield out of Oklahoma and they followed that up by selecting Denzel Ward from Ohio State with the fourth pick.
Each was able to contribute to the team’s turnaround in 2018 with Ward making the Pro Bowl and Mayfield setting the record for the most touchdown passes by a rookie.
They also picked up Nick Chubb, who ended up running for 996 yards and is on pace to top 1,000-yards this season — which would be the first Cleveland running back to do so since Peyton Hillis in 2010.

However, there was one pick before Chubb that ended up being a bust. Austin Corbett was selected at No. 33 out of Nevada and was never able to fight his way into the lineup for the Browns.
Corbett, who played tackle collegiately, moved inside once he turned pro. He was unable to win a starting job as a rookie but was given a second chance this year after Kevin Zeitler was traded to the New York Giants.
Again, Corbett came up short and general manager John Dorsey decided to cut his losses and shipped him to the Los Angeles Rams for a late-round draft pick. It wasn’t an ideal ending, but at least Dorsey was willing to admit his mistake and move on.
However, he may not be done. Dorsey, who has no problem making moves, could continue to pull off some trades during the bye week as he looks to salvage a promising season that’s gotten off to a disappointing 2-4 start.
With that being said, here are the three players most likely to be sent elsewhere during the team’s week away from the field.
