Cowboys Rumors: Styles, Bain, Safeties
The Cowboys are entering the draft with a pair of first-round picks (Nos. 12 and 20), but they might not land two players they deem worthy of first-round selections. Speaking with reporters Wednesday, executive vice president Stephen Jones revealed that they have only given first-round grades to 12 players (links via Clarence Hill Jr. of All City DLLS).
Owning multiple firsts may give the Cowboys the ammunition to move up for one of their favorite prospects, but Jones does not anticipate vaulting into the top five. He said doing so is not a possibility for the Cowboys. That jibes with a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, who writes that the Cowboys are more likely to make a “small move up” than do anything drastic.
The Cowboys do not appear willing to surrender the 20th pick to climb the board. If anything, they could trade down from 20 to replenish Day 2 capital, per Graziano. The Cowboys traded their second-rounder to the Jets in last November’s Quinnen Williams blockbuster, leaving a 72-pick gap from No. 20 to their next selection (No. 92).
As of Wednesday morning, Jones said the Cowboys had not many any calls about trading up. Doing so has been a rarity for Dallas, which Graziano notes has not gone up in Round 1 since 2012. But the team is “exploring” what it would cost to move up a few spots for Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles if he lasts into the back half of the top 10, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Drafting Styles should give the Cowboys a desperately needed off-ball linebacker upgrade. It was a glaring weakness entering the offseason, but it has gone unaddressed thus far.
Edge defender and safety are also among the areas the Cowboys could strengthen in the draft. As expected, this year’s top two safety prospects – Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman and Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren – have caught their attention, Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports relays. Having already added two new safeties (Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke) to one edge defender (Rashan Gary), the Cowboys regard the latter position as the greater need, ESPN’s Matt Miller reports. However, they do not see Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. as a fit in rookie coordinator Christian Parker‘s 3-4 defense. Bain is unlikely to make it to 12, but if the Cowboys trade up, it does not appear he will be the target.
Giants Draft Latest: Styles, Downs, Love, Ioane, Fano, Tyson, Trade
For the second time in four years, the Giants hold two top-10 picks in a draft. Joe Schoen‘s first draft did not maximize the value at Nos. 5 and 7, where Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal arrived. If the GM is to save his job, he will need to serve as a meaningful contributor while a John Harbaugh-fronted regime navigates the Nos. 5 and 10 overall selections.
The Giants obtained No. 10 from the Bengals for Dexter Lawrence. While that haul surprised some Giants decisionmakers, the team bungling the Neal pick reminds how having such meaningful draft real estate can backfire. Several possibilities certainly exist for Big Blue near the top of this draft.
A path where the Giants grab Sonny Styles at No. 5 and emerge from No. 10 with another offensive line starter should be considered in play, according to SportsBoom.com’s Jason La Canfora. A GM informed La Canfora that Styles will not be available by No. 10, so if Harbaugh wants a Roquan Smith-type linebacking anchor, the Giants would need to pull the trigger at 5.
Likely set to be the highest ILB drafted since the Buccaneers chose Devin White fifth overall in 2019, Styles has been connected to the Titans at No. 4. With the Jets down to Arvell Reese and David Bailey and the Cardinals not tied to Styles much, it would seemingly be down to Tennessee passing to greenlight a Giants pick.
The Giants have two locked-in tackle starters, in Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor, but their guard posts do not feature a long-term piece. Although Jon Runyan Jr. came up as a cut candidate months ago, he remains on the roster. The former Packer is entering the final season of a three-year, $30MM contract and may not be a roster lock, and the team signed ex-Raven (one of many brought in under Harbaugh) Daniel Faalele to go with Lucas Patrick. Those players could be swing options, however, and La Canfora hears Harbaugh “loves” Penn State guard Vega Ioane.
Ioane has been linked to Baltimore at No. 14, where Ely Allen’s PFR mock draft sent him. Prior to the Lawrence trade, Ely mocked Francis Mauigoa to New York at No. 5. The Giants have an interesting opportunity to add a quality O-line option thanks to holding a second first-rounder, and Ioane should remain on the board by No. 10. Kadyn Proctor and Spencer Fano, two tackle prospects who could slide to guard (joining Mauigoa in that regard), also are believed to be on the Giants’ radar, per La Canfora.
Wide receiver should also be considered a factor for the Giants, especially at No. 10. They have been linked closely to Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson, and ESPN.com’s Dan Grazino adds more fuel to the Tyson-to-New York fire by noting the team indeed is fond of the injury-prone Arizona State talent. Tyson has been one of the pre-draft process’ late climbers, as his recent workout showcased upside Tate may not carry. Tate is viewed as a safer prospect, however.
Another scenario for New York may feature Tyson at 10 — if he is still available — but Caleb Downs over Styles at 5, with Graziano adding multiple sources have informed him the Giants would be likely to take the ex-Buckeyes safety over the linebacker if both are available. Downs has been linked to the Giants for weeks, and the Ravens certainly valued the safety position — from Ed Reed to Eric Weddle to Earl Thomas to Kyle Hamilton — under Harbaugh.
A wrench in this plan exists at running back, though. Interest in Jeremiyah Love could prompt the Giants to table a defensive pick and go for the dual-threat Notre Dame RB prospect, with Graziano noting Love will be squarely in play — perhaps even over Downs — if he’s still available at 5. Some in the Giants’ building are holding out hope for Love at 5, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, with ESPN colleague Jordan Raanan finding it difficult to envision the team passing. Love would mark the organization’s second top-five RB investment in nine years. A Saquon Barkley ceiling is uncertain here, but teams have been rewarded for recent first-round RB picks — as possible 2023 extension recipients Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs highlight.
While Fowler also points to the Giants closely eyeing an O-line upgrade at No. 10 in the event Downs is the pick at 5 — mentioning Fano and Ioane — EssentiallySports.com’s Tony Pauline offers more on the receiver front. A concern exists Malik Nabers may not be 100% by Week 1, and Pauline goes as far as to say the Giants “will” use the No. 10 choice on a receiver.
Short-term Nabers concerns would not be a great reason to make a long-term WR investment with such a high pick, though if Tyson or Tate ends up being higher on New York’s board compared to Fano or Ioane, pairing Nabers with one of them makes sense. Tate may be unlikely to fall past New Orleans at No. 8, however. Pauline also cites a source close to Ioane who believes No. 10 might be a bit early for the draft’s top guard prospect to go.
Trading down would represent another route here, and we heard the Giants were open to moving back from No. 5 a bit ago. The New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy hears the Giants would be willing to make a small move back from No. 5 to obtain more Day 2 capital. New York traded its third-round pick to climb up for Jaxson Dart last year. A scenario in which the Cardinals take Love at No. 3 leaving the Titans with a Styles-or-EDGE selection could accelerate Giants trade talks, and either Bailey or Reese remaining on the board at 5 could prompt a trade-up — as the Giants are not in need of OLB help.
As if we aren’t deep enough in this web — big night, Giants fans — Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer is iffy the Giants would use the No. 5 pick on Downs. But the veteran insider confirms the team’s interest in Tyson (who dined with Schoen while the latter was in town for his workout). No. 5 might not even be too high for Tyson, though that would be higher than expected.
The Giants view Tyson as “so dynamic,” Glazer adds. He posted a 1,100-yard season in 2022 but has suffered major knee and collarbone injuries prior to multiple bouts with hamstring trouble. Odell Beckham Jr. comparisons have also emerged here. Were Tyson to become a Giant, a Beckham reunion may not come to pass.
Colton Hood Could Be No. 2 CB In Draft
Thanks to growing concerns over the long-term health of his knee, Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy‘s stock appears to be trending down on the eve of the draft. McCoy might not even be the first Tennessee cornerback to come off the board. That honor could go to Colton Hood, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports. Hood may even be the first corner selected after LSU’s Mansoor Delane, per Graziano.
Hood spent his three years in college at three different schools. After redshirting as a freshman at Auburn, he transferred to Colorado in 2024. During his lone season playing under Deion Sanders, Hood intercepted two passes in 13 games. He could have helped replace the departed Travis Hunter last year, but Hood left for Tennessee instead. McCoy wound up missing the entire season with a torn ACL, meaning he and Hood never played together.
With McCoy out of commission in 2025, Hood served as the Vols’ top outside corner and totaled personal bests in tackles (50), passes defensed (eight) and TFL (4.5) in a dozen games. The 5-foot-11, 193-pounder also pulled in an interception, which he returned for a 23-yard touchdown, and picked up a second-team All-SEC nod. In his most recent pre-draft rankings, Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com places Hood 21st overall (two spots behind McCoy) and contends he is a “complete player” who should be a capable starter from the get-go.
While this is likely an incomplete list, we know Hood visited with at least six teams in the lead-up to the draft. Along with the Cowboys, he met with the Chiefs, Jets, Raiders, Texans and Seahawks. With the Raiders poised to use the No. 1 pick on quarterback Fernando Mendoza, they may be out on Hood unless they trade back into the first round for him. Hood’s stock has risen enough that he may not be available when the Raiders are on the clock again at 36. If Hood does end up as the second corner taken, the Texans (28th) and Seahawks (32nd) pick late enough in the first round that they also may be out of his range.
Buccaneers Interested In Trading Down
After sputtering to an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2019 last season, the Buccaneers are entering this year’s draft with just seven picks. Looking to add more selections, general manager Jason Licht wants to move down from 15th overall in the first round, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
There is likely to be a first-round run on offensive linemen beginning in the 10 to 14 range, according to insider Jordan Schultz. As Breer notes, the Lions (17), Panthers (19), Steelers (21), Eagles (23), Browns (24) and Bears (25) are all candidates to draft an O-lineman in the first round. That could put the Buccaneers in prime position to find a trade partner. As the Bucs’ GM since 2014, Licht has never been shy about moving his first-rounder. He went from nine to 11 in 2016, seven to 12 in 2018, 14 to 13 in 2020 and 27 to 33 in 2022 (h/t: Scott Smith of the team’s website).
The trades in 2018 and ’20 led to the Buccaneers using first-rounders on defensive tackle Vita Vea and left tackle Tristan Wirfs, two cornerstones. The 355-pound Vea and the 320-pound Wirfs are among Tampa Bay’s biggest players. Overall, though, head coach Todd Bowles believes the team needs more size.
“We need to get bigger from a team standpoint,” Bowles said (via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times). “I think we need to get bigger. We’re smaller at some positions from a size standpoint. I’d like to get bigger regardless of what position it is, and I think that will be a little more emphasis this year.”
Regardless of whether the Buccaneers trade down, edge defender, linebacker and guard are among the positions they could target early in the draft. Based on Bowles’ comments, anyone dinged with the “undersized” label may be off the table for Tampa Bay.
Latest On Cameron Jordan, Alvin Kamara
Cameron Jordan and Alvin Kamara are two of the greatest Saints in franchise history, but neither player is guaranteed to suit up for the organization next season. It could depend on how this week’s draft unfolds, general manager Mickey Loomis acknowledged Wednesday. (via Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio).
“I think that it could impact it,” Loomis said. “You know, we’ll see what happens, and that goes both ways, it could impact them, from their perspective as well as ours.”
Over a month since free agency opened, Jordan remains one of the most accomplished players on the market. The 36-year-old edge defender has left the door open for a new deal with the Saints, the only team of his 15-year career, but is also considering other options. Still remarkably durable and productive despite his age, Jordan managed his third straight 17-game season in 2025. He also reached double-digit sacks (10.5) for the first time since 2021 and the seventh time overall.
A member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team and an eight-time Pro Bowler, Jordan has amassed 132 sacks and played in 243 of a possible 245 games. Loomis’ decision to pick Jordan 24th overall in 2011 has been one of his wisest moves, but there could be a changing of the guard if he selects another pass rusher early this year. That may be on the table for the Saints at No. 8 or 42. For now, Chase Young and Carl Granderson are their top edge defenders under contract.
Unlike Jordan, Kamara already has a contract in place. Also a career-long Saint, the nine-year veteran is not due to reach free agency until next March. However, Kamara’s future with the Saints has gotten cloudier since they added running back Travis Etienne on a four-year, $52MM pact in free agency. If the Saints make another noteworthy investment in the position during the draft, it could seal Kamara’s fate.
Moving on from Kamara, a five-time Pro Bowler, would not be a clean break from a cap standpoint. Trading or releasing Kamara before June 1 would cost the Saints anywhere from $7.60MM to $8.95MM in space next season. They would also take on between $18.11MM and $19.46MM in dead money. Parting with Kamara after June 1 would allow the Saints to spread the dead cap charges over the next two years. Cutting him after that date would take away around $900K in cap space, whereas a summer trade would save the Saints approximately $456K.
Although Kamara struggled over a career-low 11 games last year, teams were interested in acquiring him back in early March. It is unclear if that remains the case. Likewise, it is unknown if the soon-to-be 31-year-old Kamara would be willing to continue his career elsewhere. When his name came up before last November’s trade deadline, Kamara made it public that he was not open to a change of scenery.
Titans Could Choose Between Edge, WR With Fourth Overall Pick
The Titans are set to pick fourth in this year’s draft, but trading down may be a best-case scenario for the rebuilding club. If the Titans stay put, though, they are expected to select either an edge defender or a wide receiver, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
The Titans are fans of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, but there is a real possibility the Cardinals will take him third overall. That would leave Tennessee to look for help at other positions. Edge defender and receiver are sensible targets for a team that needs better players at both spots.
The Titans finished last season a respectable 12th in sacks (42), but a team-high 11 came from defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. While they also got a combined 8.5 from edge defenders Dre’Mont Jones and Arden Key, both players are now on other teams.
As part of an offseason defensive overhaul, new Titans head coach Robert Saleh has reunited with one of his former Jets D-ends, Jermaine Johnson. The Titans do not have much else at the position, which could lead them to Texas Tech’s David Bailey at No. 4. The Jets are expected to pick Ohio State linebacker/edge Arvell Reese over Bailey at second overall. If that happens and the Cardinals choose Love, the Titans would be free to grab Bailey. Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. also looks like a fit for the Titans on paper, yet they are reportedly out on him.
As for receiver, the Titans made a sizable free agent investment in former Giants slot wideout Wan’Dale Robinson, whom they brought in on a four-year, $70MM pact. They also restructured Calvin Ridley‘s contract, setting him up to stick around for at least another year, but he endured a disappointing, injury-ruined 2025 and will turn 32 in December. As fourth- and sixth-round rookies last year, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor posted respectable numbers. But the Titans could still use a legitimate game-breaker at the position. Finding one early in the draft should make life easier on second-year quarterback Cam Ward.
No receivers are expected to go in the top three, which would allow the Titans to snag the best pass catcher on the board with their first pick. If the Titans are leaning offense over defense, their decision may come down to Ohio State’s Carnell Tate versus Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson.
Colts Notes: Jones, Pierce, Buckner
A few months after his Giants tenure went up in flames, the Colts took a one-year, $14MM flier on quarterback Daniel Jones in March 2025. The move could not have worked out much better until Jones tore his Achilles in early December.
A little over four months after suffering a major injury, Jones is progressing well in his recovery, general manager Chris Ballard said (via James Palmer of The Athletic). Jones has resumed throwing and performing dropbacks, according to head coach Shane Steichen (per Stephen Holder of ESPN). The Colts are hopeful he will be ready for Week 1 .
If Indianapolis had serious concerns over Jones’ Achilles, it could have let him walk in free agency. Instead, the team retained Jones on a two-year, $88MM contract with a fully guaranteed $50MM. While Jones has mostly disappointed since the Giants drafted him sixth overall in 2019, the 28-year-old has flashed enough to rake in two significant extensions. The Giants gave him a four-year, $160MM payday in March 2023, but the decision proved disastrous. They wound up cutting Jones in November 2024. He finished the season as a Vikings backup before his trip to the open market led him to Indianapolis.
Jones flopped on his big Giants contract, but the Colts are banking on him building on a career-best showing in 2025. Over 13 starts, he threw 19 touchdowns against eight interceptions and ranked top 10 in the NFL in yards per attempt (8.1; fourth), completion percentage (68.0; sixth), QBR (63.0; eighth) and passer rating (100.2; ninth).
Thanks in part to Jones’ first-half heater, the Colts surged to an AFC-leading 7-1 start. The shine began wearing off from there, though, as the team dropped its third straight the day Jones’ season ended and fell to 8-5. With Jones and injury-prone backup Anthony Richardson out for the season, the desperate Colts brought 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement. As entertaining as Rivers’ comeback was, it didn’t yield a miraculous late-season run for the Colts. They lost out and finished 8-9 for the second year in a row.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce, one of Jones’ favorite targets last year, joined his QB as a pending free agent entering the offseason. The Colts also paid up to prevent the deep threat from leaving. Although he has never hit the 50-catch mark in a season, Pierce landed a four-year, $114MM pact with $60MM fully guaranteed right as the legal tampering period opened on March 9. The Colts traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers the same day, leaving Pierce as their No. 1 receiver. Pierce is now sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery, but with a three-month recovery timeline, there is no concern he will miss any regular-season action (via Holder).
Turning to the other side of the ball, cornerstone defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was among several key Colts who logged multiple absences last year. Buckner sat out seven games as a result of a neck injury, but he is “making good progress,” Mike Chappell of Fox 59 writes. The same goes for kicker Spencer Shrader (ACL), cornerback Justin Walley (ACL) and safety Hunter Wohler (foot). The Colts spent a third-rounder on Walley last year, but a torn ACL cost him his entire rookie season. With slot corner Kenny Moore potentially on the outs via trade or release, Walley could take on an important role in 2026.
Chiefs Exploring First-Round Trade
The Chiefs have explored a trade up from the No. 9 pick in the first round of Thursday’s draft, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
Kansas City is widely expected to draft a pass rusher or wide receiver, though they have also done their homework on top offensive tackle talent. A cornerback is not out of the question, either, after Trent McDuffie was traded to the Rams.
The Chiefs could certainly stand pat and still secure a premium prospect at one of their positions of need. But if general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid have fallen in love with a specific player, they could use one of their other eight selections or 2027 capital to move up. It is worth noting that they have a second first-round pick this year, the 29th overall selection, which could give them the option to trade up as high as the No. 3 pick.
Moving up to the Browns’ sixth overall pick seems more reasonable. That would allow the Chiefs to jump the Commanders at No. 7, who are believed to have their eye on some of the same positions. Jumping three picks would be much cheaper than six, and it could also pre-empt other clubs looking to snipe the Chiefs’ targets.
However, Kansas City is “thinking about moving back just as much as they are thinking about moving up,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. A team with a top-heavy salary cap picture needs to find multiple contributors in the draft every year, and getting more bites at the apple is crucial, especially in a class with so much Day 2 talent.
If the Chiefs do not trade up, but their preferred targets are gone at No. 9, they could suddenly be in the catbird’s seat for the teams behind looking to move up. Among those teams are the Rams (No. 13) and the Eagles (No. 23), according to Breer. The Giants (No. 10) and Dolphins (No. 11) are also candidates for such a move, per ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
49ers Have Discussed Brandon Aiyuk In Trades; Team May Retain WR Into Summer
Early in free agency, a 49ers plan to release Brandon Aiyuk surfaced. Five-plus weeks later, the disgruntled former All-Pro remains on the team. Aiyuk, who missed all of last season due to injury, saw the 49ers take the rare step to void future guarantees on his deal due to his rehab approach. The wide receiver and the team are headed for a divorce, but it could take much longer to finalize than expected.
John Lynch confirmed this week Aiyuk generated trade discussions at the league meetings, but the 10th-year GM does not expect (per the San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch) anything to happen here during the draft. The updated structure of Aiyuk’s contract gives San Francisco some time, and the team is assuredly not eager to do the receiver any favors based on how things have gone since his extension was finalized.
As our Ben Levine noted recently, an early-September option bonus likely serves as the point of no return for the 49ers with Aiyuk. The WR is due a nearly $25MM bonus that, if picked up, would be prorated through 2030. If it isn’t exercised, then it would be owed all at once. That would drive Aiyuk’s 2026 price to an untenable $26MM. While a future in which the 49ers mend fences with Aiyuk and retain him has been floated (by CEO Jed York), it remains highly unlikely. After all, Lynch said this relationship was essentially over earlier this year.
The September bonus date creates some time for the 49ers to dangle Aiyuk in trades, and Casino.com’s Jason La Canfora notes the team may even prefer stringing this process out into the summer before moving on. This would give Aiyuk less time to acclimate in a new offense, though that is not exactly the 49ers’ chief concern. Kyle Shanahan said as much at the league meetings.
“You’ve got to do what’s right for the Niners, and you’re not trying to hook up any other team as fast as you possibly can,” Shanahan said, via Branch.
Finding a team to take on this contract, after Aiyuk has missed 1 1/2 seasons and became a distraction for his current club, will not be easy. Nonguaranteed base salaries of $27.27MM (2027) and $29.15MM (’28) are in place. An injury to a key receiver elsewhere could lead a team to consider parting with lower-level draft assets for Aiyuk, and a franchise not confident in its ability to lure the former first-round pick in free agency could always swing a deal.
Aiyuk has been closely tied to the Commanders, where he would have considered going in 2024 had the team — one built around ex-Aiyuk Arizona State teammate Jayden Daniels — shown interest during that summer’s trade derby. It would be unlikely Washington would trade for Aiyuk, with the team likely confident it would win a recruiting battle. Lynch may be hoping another team will try and beat the Commanders to the punch with a trade.
The 49ers have added Mike Evans and Christian Kirk to a roster that includes 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall. The team is not expected to re-sign Jauan Jennings, whose price point has not aligned with teams’ valuations, but another receiver move could certainly commence during this week’s draft. Considering the ages of Evans and Kirk and the injury file Pearsall is building, the 49ers may well need to make another investment at WR early in the draft. Aiyuk would theoretically be an option to complement Pearsall and the other veterans, but that bridge is most likely burned. It looks like the seventh-year WR will need to wait before finding a new destination.
Browns Expected To Trade Back From Sixth Pick
While some have speculated that Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft could feature of frenzy of trades, others have more conservative predictions. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, an overabundance of teams looking to trade down on Thursday could actually indicate that fewer trades will take place in 2026 as those teams struggle to find trade partners.
A year after trading down from the second overall pick, the Browns are once again “taking calls about” trading out of their top draft pick, per Schefter. Cleveland already has nine picks scheduled in this year’s draft, and by trading down, the Browns would likely be collecting quite a bit more in a trade down. The franchise is notorious for trading back, and with a draft that is considered thin in top-level talent and thin in depth at the positions Cleveland needs to improve on most, all signs are pointing to another deal getting done.
Initial reports on Cleveland’s desire to move back indicated that the team was looking to land a wide receiver or offensive tackle and believed it could still get a desired prospect after slipping back a few picks. Per Tony Pauline of EssentiallySports, at this point in time, the Browns “would have no problem moving out of the top 10 if the right offer is put in front of them.” That could be crucial as one of the teams most linked to a potential trade up to No. 6 overall is the Cowboys, who currently hold the 12th pick of the draft.
There are several top end prospects at both positions Cleveland is looking at. The rumors of a trade-crazy first round were centered mostly around the idea that several teams would be looking to trade up into the top 10 for offensive tackles. If Cleveland is willing to move down into the double-digit picks, though, it could mean the team is looking to add at wide receiver first, otherwise it would be first in line for the best offensive tackles available if the team just stayed put.
Even if they target an offensive tackle first, though, it’s widely expected that it will be after a trade back. The sources of NFL insider Jason La Canfora “are convinced at this point that (the Browns) will not be using the sixth overall pick.” There are several strategies that Cleveland could be adopting in its attempts to trade back. We’re only days away from seeing what those strategies might be and whether or not the Browns will be able to put them in action.
