A win Sunday in Week 6 for the Cleveland Browns versus the Pittsburgh Steelers could not only be a game-changer for HC Kevin Stefanski but could change the course of NFL trade rumors and discussions. The Browns have already dealt away QB Joe Flacco and CB Greg Newsome II, but neither of those trades was a definite “white flag on the season” type of move.
While Cleveland RB Jerome Ford was not listed, Ian Rapoport of The NFL Network noted that a few teams, including the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, are on the lookout for running back help. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who the Browns have traded with twice already this season, are looking for help on the defensive line (Alex Wright, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, or Harris could fill needs).
As we noted with our WR AJ Brown trade proposal, Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman “never met a trade he wouldn’t consider…” which could really make for an interesting NFL trade deadline coming up on November 4th.
