Browns trade quarterback Cody Kessler to Jacksonville

Cleveland Browns Makeover Edition continued on Wednesday with the news that the team has traded quarterback Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In return for the third-year veteran, the Browns will receive a conditional seventh-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The team released news of the transaction on its website.

General manager John Dorsey deserves credit for getting something, even if it just a conditional seventh-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, for a player that the Browns had no intention of keeping on the roster.

On the Jacksonville side of things, general manager Dave Caldwell seems pretty excited about adding a player with Kessler’s limited abilities to the roster, according to the team’s website:

“We are excited about the opportunity to add Cody as depth to our quarterback position.
