Cleveland Browns: 10 trade targets ahead of training camp
By Sam Penix
10 players the Cleveland Browns could consider trading for this offseason
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry, it’s that he is never satisfied with the state of his roster, and will leave no stone unturned in an attempt to improve it.
Berry landed safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. for just a fifth-round pick in August of last year. Could he swing a similar deal before the 2021 season kicks off?
Here are 10 players who may be fits for the Browns.
10. Andy Isabella, WR, Arizona Cardinals
A second-round pick in 2019, Andy Isabella ran a blazing-fast 4.31-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but hasn’t been able to consistently use his elite speed as a pro. He was targeted 48 times over his first two seasons, catching 30 passes for 413 yards and three touchdowns. His lack of size and length has hurt him, but the talent is still there.
Unfortunately for him, opportunities are likely to be limited in the Cardinals’ offense moving forward. DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and rookie dynamo Rondale Moore are all ahead of him on the depth chart.
The Browns could be replacing four receivers next offseason, so having someone under contract would be valuable. For a late Day 3 pick, it could be worth kicking the tires on Isabella and his dominant trait.
9. D.J. Chark, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
A Pro Bowler two seasons ago, Chark had another solid campaign in 2020, but it remains to be seen whether or not he’ll be extended by the Jags. He’s a great athlete who provides elite size and downfield ability, which would fit well in Cleveland. Perhaps he’d be too expensive, both compensational and financial-wise, but it’s at least worth the inquiry.
