Before training camp began, the Cleveland Browns took the stance that they were not going to trade running back Duke Johnson despite his request to be moved.
Johnson even hired super agent Drew Rosenhaus in his attempt to get the Browns to trade him, but they remained steadfast in their claim that they had plans for him in 2019.
Then on Thursday morning, the Browns announced they had sent Duke to the Houston Texans in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick — which has a good shot at becoming a third-round selection. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, Johnson just needs to be active for 10 games in order for the pick to move up one round.
