The unofficial acknowledgment of a season spiraling out of control came on Monday, as reports surfaced that the Browns were listening to trade offers for Kareem Hunt and Greedy Williams. The Browns - losers of four in a row - could try to salvage future draft picks for veteran players who likely won’t return in 2023.
Common analytical sense suggests the Browns should cash in now, especially considering their depleted chest of draft picks resulting from the DeShaun Watson trade. While Hunt may not fetch more than a fourth-round pick, adding such a selection would at least bolster the team’s ability to make additional trades next April.
