The Cleveland Browns “haven’t slammed the door shut” on the possibility of trading for Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, according to a report from Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
The Broncos are seeking “at least” a first-round pick in exchange for Jeudy, according to previous reporting from The Athletic. The Browns do not hold a first-round pick this year or in 2024, so they would presumably need to include a high second-round pick and a player, or multiple picks to get a potential deal done.
“The Broncos don’t plan to trade Jeudy, their 2020 No. 15 overall pick out of Alabama, unless someone makes them an offer they can’t refuse,” according to Cabot.
The Dallas Cowboys enquired about Jeudy before the NFL trade deadline last season, and the New England Patriots have called about Jeudy this offseason, according to The Athletic.
Denver has also received calls about Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler, but the Broncos have held firm in their asking price. Last week, KUSA-TV reported that “it doesn’t appear” Denver will trade Jeudy or Sutton. It’s unclear if that’s accurate, or if it was just the team’s attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with other teams.
Jeudy, 23, has one year left on his rookie contract, plus a team option for the 2024 season. With just five picks to use in this year’s draft, the possibility of the Broncos trading the wide receiver can’t be ruled out.
