Browns Trade for Deebo Samuel

0:00On March 24, the Cleveland Browns wasted no time this off-season, landing four potential starting offensive lineman with a trade for Titus Howard, resigning Teben Jenkins and adding Elton Jenkins and Zion Johnson. That leaves just one spot to fill a front. Now General Manager Andrew Berry turns to the wide receiver group, a glaring need after missing early free agency targets. Debo Samuel stands out as a prime trade candidate from the Washington commanders. The former San Francisco star showed he can still produce, even after injuries slowed him down. He ranked high in yards after the catch and proved versatile by lining up in the slot more than ever before. Fans and analysts see Samuel as a great fit next to the Browns' current receivers. His physical style and ability to win contested balls would give head coach Todd Munkin flexible options, whether outside, in line or even from the backfield. Berry has a track record here, having traded for Amari Cooper and Jerry Judy in the past.

1:01Projections put Samuel's next deal at two years, for about $31.5 million, and the Browns have $21.8 million in, cap space to work with. They could pair him with draft picks like Carl Tate, or trades for other names such as Chris Godwin, with the draft approaching, grabbing a proven playmaker like Samuel, could be Berry's big splash before training camp, setting up a more dynamic, offense without long-term risk.
