The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0could look to the trade market to find their franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n
Cleveland has been widely expected to use an early pick in the first round of the 2026\u00a0NFL\u00a0Draft to get their franchise quarterback. Yet, NFL insider Jason Fitz of Yahoo Sports believes Cleveland should look to acquire Trevor Lawrence from the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor that big deal he just got, the way the cap is laid out, it\u2019s a really attainable contract, some complications for the Jags to get rid of him,\u201d Fitz\u00a0said. \u201cBut it\u2019s an attainable contract. \u2026 Trevor Lawrence to the Browns? What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fitz\u2019s co-host, Caroline Fenton, agreed and felt like Lawrence being traded to the Browns makes a ton of sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s like a nine (out of 10). I would love this for the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0because it would what it would give them is stability at the quarterback position,\u201d Fenton said. \u201cWhen was the last time the Browns had stability at the quarterback position? What Trevor Lawrence can do is come in and give you just enough. You know that he would be your guy for the next five-plus years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence is in the\u00a0midst of his five-year, $275 million deal, including $142 million guaranteed with the\u00a0Jaguars. He was selected first overall in 2021, but he has struggled to live up to expectations with the Jaguars.<\/p>\n
This season, Lawrence has gone 188-of-316 for 1,998 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions while also rushing for 4 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
In the offseason, Lawrence\u2019s name has come up in trade rumors.<\/p>\n
However, no deal was made, and Lawrence said the rumors weren\u2019t true, especially due to the fact that he has a no-trade clause.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a no-trade clause in my contract, so I would know about it if I was getting traded or if that was something that was going to happen,\u201d Lawrence said\u00a0during an appearance on\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lawrence is a one-time Pro Bowler and has led the Jaguars to the playoffs just once, in 2022, when he led Jacksonville to a 9-8 record. He\u2019s 27-42 as a starting quarterback in the NFL.<\/p>\n
Cleveland is widely expected\u00a0to have a new quarterback\u00a0in 2026 despite the team showing so much confidence in Dillon Gabriel.<\/p>\n
Gabriel will remain the starter on Sunday against the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens. Despite his struggles, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he still has confidence in the rookie quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I think with young quarterbacks, it\u2019s understanding that there\u2019s going to be ups and downs,\u201d Stefanski\u00a0said\u00a0on Monday. \u201cYou know, can Dillon play better? Yes, he can. Can we play better around him? Yes, we can. Can we coach him better? Yes, we can.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I understand the question. But I just trust that our young players at every position, and certainly at the quarterback position, are guys that are going to work their tails off to get better every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cleveland is a 7.5-point underdog at home against the\u00a0Ravens.<\/p>\n

It became frighteningly clear after the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0fell to the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0Week 6 that Philly can\u2019t keep relying on the combination of\u00a0Kelee Ringo\u00a0and\u00a0Adoree\u2019 Jackson\u00a0as their outside corners.<\/p>\n
Jackson was benched after he struggled in coverage early in the season. In his place, the team turned to Ringo, hoping the 2023 fourth-round pick\u2019s athleticism and upside could help stabilize the position. Unfortunately, that hasn\u2019t happened \u2014 and with\u00a0Quinyon Mitchell\u00a0sidelined by a hamstring injury during the 34\u201317 loss to New York, things only got worse.<\/p>\n
When assessing the\u00a0NFL\u00a0landscape after Sunday\u2019s slate of games, ESPN\u2019s Bill Barnwell thinks Ringo\u2019s days as a starter are numbered, and the GM Howie Roseman will be looking to trade for his replacement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the deadline just weeks away and that outside cornerback role across from Mitchell and\u00a0(Cooper) DeJean\u00a0continuing to be a liability, would anyone be surprised if the\u00a0Eagles\u00a0made a move for a veteran cornerback who could step into the lineup at midseason?\u201d\u00a0Barnwell wrote on October 13.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019d expect Roseman to be hitting the phones in search of CB help between now and Nov. 4, which would squeeze Ringo out of a starting role.\u201d<\/p>\n
GettyPhiladelphia\u00a0Eagles\u00a0cornerback Kelee Ringo may be heading to the bench soon.<\/p>\n
Drafted in the fourth round in 2023,\u00a0Ringo played in 17 games as a rookie, starting four. He came on late that year, sealing a memorable Christmas win with his first career interception. He was part of the team\u2019s Super Bowl 59 run the following season, although he spent the bulk of his time playing special teams. Now in Year 3, he has yet to show he can be a capable starter \u2014 or even a reliable depth piece at CB \u2014 and that\u2019s becoming a legit issue.<\/p>\n
Through six games and two starts in 2025, Ringo has 15 solo tackles, one pass breakup, a fumble recovery and zero interceptions. His most recent performance against the\u00a0Giants\u00a0was particularly concerning. He had two costly penalties, allowing three catches for 69 yards.<\/p>\n
Making matters worse is how thin the\u00a0Eagles\u00a0have become at cornerback overall. Injuries have gutted the position.\u00a0Jakorian Bennett\u00a0is on injured reserve, Jackson\u2019s benching has left him in a rotational role and Mitchell is now dealing with a hamstring issue. Philadelphia recently signed Tariq Castro-Fields to the practice squad, a move that underscores how few reliable options they have left.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why a trade, as Barnwell suggested, could be the only way Roseman can address the situation, at least in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n
Ringo is still young \u2014 he turned 23 in June \u2014 so we\u2019re by no means saying Philly should give up on him entirely. But after dropping two straight, the defending champs can\u2019t afford to be cavalier about the cornerback position.<\/p>\n
Roseman will likely be on the lookout for a plug-and-play starter who will bump Ringo down the depth chart and bring stability to the secondary.\u00a0We\u2019ve pitched Browns Pro Bowler Denzel Ward\u00a0recently, but Philly has other trade options, including\u00a0Riq Woolen,\u00a0Rasul Douglas\u00a0and Alontae Taylor.<\/p>\n
Sitting at 4\u20132, Philadelphia is still undoubtedly in the NFC title race, but Roseman\u2019s going to have to work some more of his\u00a0magic to stay in the thick of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
