Browns Trade for Deebo Samuel, Strengthen WR Corps

On March 24th, the Cleveland Browns wasted no time this off-season, trading for Titus

Howard, resigning Teven Jenkins and adding Elton Jenkins and Zion Johnson to lock down

four of their five starting offensive line spots.

That leaves the wide receiver group as their biggest remaining whole, especially after

missing the early free agency rush, but plenty of talent remains on the trademark.

Debo Samuel, lately with the Washington commanders and before that, the San Francisco 49ers, stands

out as a strong fit despite some injury, setbacks and turning 30 this year.

He still posted solid numbers, averaging 6.5 yards after the catch-six best among receivers,

while showing versatility by lining up in the, slot more than ever and making contested

grabs at a 52.6% clip.

General manager Andrew Berry loves chasing proven receivers like Amari Cooper and Jerry

Judy and with $21.8 million in cap.

Space, grabbing Samuel on a projected two-year, $31.5 million deal, carries low risk since

they could cut ties after one season.

If needed, draft picks and other trades loom large too, keeping options wide open as

the team builds around their quarterback.
