The Cleveland Browns took a swing at reuniting with a former starting quarterback ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but their best offer came up short.
John Sabol of Fox8News in Cleveland reported via social media on Tuesday, October 31, that the Browns offered the Washington Commanders a sixth-round draft pick for Jacoby Brissett. The Commanders, however, turned down that proposal.
Browns offered the #Commanders a 6th-Rd pick for Jacoby Brissett, per @JPFinlayNBCS,” Sabol wrote. “This goes back to my tweet earlier this afternoon that Washington holds all the leverage and would want more in return for Brissett….”
Cleveland has made several recent decisions under center that have come back to bite them.
The Browns dealt former backup Joshua Dobbs and a seventh-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals ahead of the regular season in exchange for a fifth-round selection. Dobbs started eight games in Arizona and played competitively before that franchise on Tuesday traded him to the Minnesota Vikings for a sixth-round pick and a conditional seventh-rounder.
