Browns are considered a trade suit for a $140 million wide receiver.
Under Andrew Berry, the Cleveland Browns have demonstrated that they are not beyond being aggressive, and acquiring Davante Adams, a prominent player for the Las Vegas Raiders, would be just that.
Adding more weapons for Deshaun Watson in the passing game will be a top priority for Cleveland this offseason. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, they want to provide their quarterback with everything he needs to succeed because they have made a sizable investment in him.
Deshaun Watson requires more weaponry from you. Cabot stated on the Orange & Brown Talk podcast on March 2 that “you need to supply him with as many weapons as possible so his job is easier if you’re going to make this kind of investment in Deshaun—$230 million and three first-round picks.”
Some interesting free agency choices are available, such as Mike Evans and Calvin Ridley. However, Cabot notes Adams as a possible target and believes the Browns are looking into a trade for a playmaker.
“I believe they’ll check out the trading market. Is Davante Adams going to be traded? He’s the kind of person that could definitely propel you forward. And to some extent, the Browns would be fascinated by this person, I’m sure,” Cabot added. “However, I’m not sure how much they’re willing to spend on draft capital.”
Browns Acquired Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore Via Trade
Over the past two seasons, the Browns have added significant parts to their passing game through trades. In 2022, Amari Cooper arrived from the Dallas Cowboys in a steal of a trade. The New York Jets traded Elijah Moore to the team during the previous summer.
Cleveland has already taken steps to free up cap space in order to make moves. According to Over the Budget, star cornerback Denzel Ward reworked his contract this offseason, providing the Browns with about $5.6 million in effective budget room. To increase that figure, Watson and Cooper might also modify the terms of their agreements. If the Browns have someone on their radar that they believe has the ability to impact the game, Cabot doesn’t think cap space will be a problem.
If the Browns decide “that guy” is worth it, they will find a way to pay him, according to Cabot. “They are really just one 1,000-yard receiver and one excellent double-digit edge rusher away from reaching their objective for the season, which is obviously winning a Super Bowl.
