As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Cleveland Browns may be looking to make moves to strengthen their roster for a playoff push. Here are five players who could be on the trade block:

1. Kareem Hunt (RB)

Kareem Hunt has been a key backup for Nick Chubb in Cleveland, but with the emergence of Jerome Ford and Hunt’s potential to command a larger role elsewhere, he might be a trade candidate. If a team in need of a versatile running back with experience comes calling, the Browns could deal Hunt to strengthen another area of the roster.

2. Greg Newsome II (CB)

The former first-round pick has struggled to consistently earn a starting spot in Cleveland’s secondary, especially with the strong play of Denzel Ward and rookie Martin Emerson. If a team is seeking cornerback depth, Newsome could be a valuable asset. The Browns might be willing to trade him for additional draft capital.

3. David Njoku (TE)

Njoku has flashed potential but has been inconsistent at times. The Browns have an abundance of weapons in the passing game, and Njoku could be expendable if a team with a need at tight end is interested. His talent and ability to stretch the field make him an attractive trade target.

4. John Johnson III (S)

The veteran safety, while solid, has not lived up to expectations since joining the Browns in 2021. His contract could be a potential sticking point, but if a contending team needs secondary help, Cleveland may be open to moving him, especially if they can recoup some draft capital.

5. Devin Lloyd (OLB)

Though Lloyd hasn’t been a standout for Cleveland, the Browns might look to move him for a late-round pick or depth at other positions. With the team’s defensive depth improving, they could afford to let go of a rotational linebacker.

With the trade deadline looming, these players could be among those Cleveland considers moving to enhance their chances of making a deep playoff run.
