4 wide receivers Browns should target in a trade
By Randy Gurzi
The Cleveland Browns offense has been solid to start the season but outside of Amari Cooper, the wideouts have been underwhelming. These 4 trade targets could help fix that.
Through the first three games, the Cleveland Browns offense has been much better than expected. While Jacoby Brissett was under center, the belief was they would have to lean on the ground game, and even though Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have been sensational, Brissett has done more than his share of the work.
His No. 1 target has been Amari Cooper, who has 19 catches for 219 yards and two touchdowns. Outside of Cooper, they’ve had solid production from tight end David Njoku as well as Hunt. But the rest of their wideouts have left a lot to be desired.
Donovan Peoples-Jones had a great performance in Week 1 with six receptions but has just one since then. The only other receivers to catch a ball are David Bell with two and Anthony Schwartz with one. To date, this hasn’t been an issue but it could become a problem, especially if Cooper were to miss any time at some point.
That’s why it makes sense for Cleveland to look to the trading block for some depth and these four players would provide that.

4. Andy Isabella, Arizona Cardinals
Andy Isabella was a second-round pick from UMass that had a lot of hype surrounding him when he entered the league in 2019. He posted a 4.31 in the 40-yard dash and was praised for possessing the quickness to shine in the slot but could also be a burner capable of stretching the field.
So far, he hasn’t lived up to expectations as he has just 33 receptions in his career for 447 yards and three touchdowns. This year, he has just two receptions, which doesn’t bode well for him considering the fact that DeAndre Hopkins has been out due to a suspension.
That’s why the Browns might be able to bring him over from the Cards, adding more speed to their receiving corps.
