Dawgs By Nature
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry has been a busy man over the past 10 days as he works to reshape the team’s roster.
First up was a trade with the Houston Texans for left tackle Cam Robinson, who played seven snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings but should be in line for more after a full week of practice.
On Tuesday came the “surprise” trade of quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals after Flacco lost his starting job to rookie Dillon Gabriel after four weeks of play that saw too many turnovers and not enough big plays.
Then, late Wednesday night, the news broke that the Browns were sending starting cornerback Greg Newsome to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for cornerback Tyson Campbell.
Those moves continued a trend that began with the completely unsurprising trade of quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders at the end of the preseason, a transaction that was always going to happen but was helped along by Pickett missing most of training camp and the preseason with a hamstring injury.
In addition to bringing in Robinson and Campbell, while subtracting Flacco and Newsome, there were draft picks involved to help Berry build on this year’s promising rookie class during the 2026 NFL Draft.
As of this morning, the Browns hold 10 selections in next spring’s draft:
The NFL trade deadline is November 4, which falls during Cleveland’s bye week. With the Browns currently at 1-4, if the season continues to slip away, Berry may not be done dealing and adding draft picks to continue rebuilding the roster.
