NFL Speculation: Greg Newsome and David Njoku named as possible trade candidates
The Cleveland Browns are preparing for a tough Week 3 clash against the Green Bay Packers, a team that has shown Super Bowl potential so far in the 2025 season. Amidst this high-stakes game, the Browns find themselves in trade talks, particularly surrounding their quarterback situation.
The Browns have decided to stick with 40-year-old veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, but trade rumors persist, intensifying each week. These rumors now involve not just any player, but the team's quarterback position.
ESPN's Dan Graziano has fueled these speculations, suggesting that both tight end David Njoku and wide receiver Greg Newsome could be used as trade pieces. Njoku has been splitting snaps with rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who has racked up 111 receiving yards through the first two games of the season. Newsome, however, is less expendable due to Martin Emerson Jr. being out for the rest of the year.
If a trade were to happen, the Browns could potentially look to Myles Harden, a second-year player, as a possible replacement for Newsome. Harden has emerged as a promising talent in the secondary.
Meanwhile, the Browns have made it clear that they do not expect rookie Shedeur Sanders to see much playing time in 2025. Instead, they have opted for Dillon Gabriel, a rookie quarterback who was drafted earlier by the Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. On paper, Gabriel's nuances and intricate details favor him over Sanders, despite fan preference towards the latter.
The Browns are currently struggling, having started the season with a record of 0-2. In light of this, experts are predicting that the team may position themselves as sellers at the trade deadline, which is still a few weeks away.
It's worth noting that the NFL team originally based in Portsmouth, Ohio, the city where the Browns were founded, was the Portsmouth Spartans. They played there from 1930 to 1933 before moving and becoming the Detroit Lions.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Browns could potentially trade away players by early November. The future of the team remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Browns are at a critical juncture, and their decisions in the coming weeks could shape their season and beyond.
