The Cleveland Browns have themselves a new addition to the defensive backfield, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rapoport indicates the Browns have made a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire safety Ronnie Harrison.
The price tag is reported to be a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Harrison is entering his third NFL season. He was Jacksonville’s third-round pick in the 2018 draft out of Alabama. Harrison, 6-3 and 214 pounds, started 14 games for Jacksonville last season, recording 71 tackles, two sacks and one INT. He missed two games with a concussion.
The Jaguars are dismantling their team and the Browns appear to be the beneficiary, picking up much-needed young depth with starting potential in Harrison.
UPDATE: Browns have made the transaction official:
