Browns Consider Key Trades Amid Struggles

The Cleveland Browns, struggling with a 2-7 record, are expected to be active sellers at the NFL trade deadline, potentially trading key players like Za'Darius Smith and David Njoku. The Detroit Lions have shown interest in Smith to bolster their defense due to injuries. There is also speculation that tight end David Njoku might be traded for significant draft capital. Former GM Mike Tannenbaum's impractical proposal involving Myles Garrett to the Lions has been criticized, underscoring Garrett's value to the Browns. The Browns are exploring trades to gain draft picks and address salary cap issues, partly due to Deshaun Watson's costly contract. These moves indicate Cleveland's strategy to rebuild for future seasons.
