2. Yannick Ngakoue, EDGE

This may not be a big area of need for the Browns but when a player is as talented as Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue you should at least make a call when he says he wants to be traded.

Just like Jeffery, Ngakoue made it known long ago that he didn’t want to play for his current team in 2020, and it’s mostly due to money — the Jags simply don’t want to pay him what he thinks he’s worth. Jacksonville doubled down by taking K’Lavon Chaisson in the draft, an edge rusher out of LSU.

It seems weird to move on from Ngakoue because he has been very productive with at least eight sacks in each of his first four seasons. Plus he’s only going to be 25 this season.

There are two big issues with Cleveland adding him, what the Jaguars will ask in return, and paying Ngakoue in the future. They have a lot of homegrown talent that needs to be paid soon and they surely won’t have the money to pay another young player long term.

It may be far fetched but to think of him on the other side of Myles Garrett is literally unstoppable and would make  Cleveland one of the best defenses in the NFL. At the end of the day, the asking price will probably be too high and there is no reason to mortgage the future for a player that might not even re-sign.
