The Cleveland Browns got a 100 percent return on investment out of wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. Drafting the wide receiver out of Michigan in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft, the Browns have now traded Peoples-Jones to the Detroit Lions for a 2025 sixth round pick.
Peoples-Jones only has half of a season left on his contract, and the Browns showed no interest in extending him. They actually drafted his replacement this April instead in Cedric Tillman. On the season, Peoples-Jones has once again struggled to gain any separation and has amounted to just 98 yards on 8 catches in 2023.
This has opened up space for both David Bell and \Tillman to see the field in Cleveland.
As always, Browns fans can be trusted to be reasonable and level-headed when they take their thoughts and emotions to Twitter. Right? Well, not exactly. Here is how Browns Twitter reacted to the trade of Peoples-Jones to the Lions.
