Sometimes NFL players can find greater opportunity with a change of scenery.
Linebacker Mack Wilson and edge defender Chase Winovich could be examples.
The Browns agreed Tuesday to trade Wilson to the New England Patriots for Winovich, a person familiar with the deal confirmed.
NFL Network first reported the move involving Wilson, a fifth-round selection in 2019, and Winovich, a third-round choice in the same draft.
The trade cannot be finalized until 4 p.m. Wednesday, when free agency officially kicks off.
In three NFL seasons, Winovich has started nine of his 45 regular-season games and has 85 tackles, including 11 sacks, 23 quarterback hits, an interception, two passes defensed and a forced fumble.
