10 potential preseason trade targets for the Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have landed a very good player via trade in each of the past two preseasons.
In 2019, it was guard Wyatt Teller. In 2020, it was safety Ronnie Harrison Jr.
If the team decides to make it three years in a row, here are 10 players who could be available and could help the Browns.
10. WR N’Keal Harry
The New England Patriots have reportedly been trying to deal N’Keal Harry for a while now, and it’s unusual for that franchise to admit a mistake so quickly. Harry was the 32nd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and through two seasons has caught only 45 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns.
He was a very good college player, but did most of his damage in contested situations. It is good for a receiver to be able to make contested catches, but a high number of contested targets indicates a poor ability to separate, and the windows only get tighter in the NFL.
Harry is big and explosive, so perhaps there is still something there waiting to be extracted. He’s still just 23 years old, and maybe a change of scenery would do him well. The Browns don’t really have room for another receiver on the roster, and Harry doesn’t play special teams, but it’s worth a call to see what the price is, and maybe that conversation could lead to a discussion involving other players.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry leaves no stone unturned in his constant efforts to improve the team, so it’s a safe bet he’s done his due diligence on Harry.
