The Cleveland Browns now have the perfect opportunity to make a trade with the Detroit Lions.
The Cleveland Browns are one of the most captivating teams in the NFL heading into the season. Their defense is dominant and ranks among the best in the league.
During the offseason, Cleveland made several adjustments to strengthen their roster, but there’s still room for more improvement.
With the Detroit Lions suffering a setback due to an injury in their secondary, this could be an ideal chance for the Browns to pursue a trade.

NFL News: Emmanuel Moseley Suffered a Torn Pec
Emmanuel Moseley of the Detroit Lions has torn his pectoral muscle during practice and will be out indefinitely. With Moseley sidelined, the Browns should consider reaching out to the Lions about a trade involving Greg Newsome.
Newsome is currently on the active/NFI list following hamstring surgery but is expected to be ready for the early part of the season.
Back in March, the Lions expressed interest in acquiring Newsome before they ultimately traded for Carlton Davis and drafted Terrion Arnold. Given Moseley’s injury, the Browns should look into trading Newsome to gain some draft capital.
The Browns already have Denzel Ward and Martin Emerson as their starting corners. Newsome is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the Washington Post reported earlier this spring that Cleveland is open to trading one of their cornerbacks, with Newsome being a potential candidate.
Last season, Newsome recorded 49 tackles, a career-high 14 pass deflections, and two interceptions. As he approaches free agency, he is likely to seek a substantial new contract. If the Browns are not prepared to offer that kind of money, trading Newsome could be a prudent move to avoid losing him for nothing in free agency.
