The Cleveland Browns were in desperate need of a running back following Nick Chubb's season-ending knee injury suffered on Monday Night Football, but the franchise reportedly did not express interest in one of the top players available at the position via trade.
Cleveland didn't pursue a trade for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor in the wake of Chubb's injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
"The Cleveland Browns with $34 million in cap space and losing Nick Chubb might have had an interest there but from what I understand, that was not the direction that they were looking at this point," Pelissero said during an appearance Wednesday on The Rich Eisen Show.
