The NFL trade deadline is today at 4:00 pm ET, and with the Cleveland Browns fans hovering on the verge of contention with a 5-4 record, a lot of eyes will be on them to see if they are buyers or sellers before the deadline. Of course, it’s also possible that they stand pat with what they have. We will update this tracker throughout the day with any big Browns or NFL rumors that come out.

Browns Trade Rumor Tracker

9:16 AM: DBN’s Jared Mueller also posted about what he was hearing yesterday about potential Browns rumors. One teaser to get you to check it out: tight end and defensive end appear to be the positions the team is interested in bolstering, but they also don’t want to sacrifice a valuable draft pick for a one-year rental.


9:12 AM: Even though there doesn’t appear to be an actual source connected with it, NFL reporter Josina Anderson suggested that one team should throw interest in Browns QB Shedeur Sanders after the big fourth quarter and overtime performance he had this past Sunday against the Saints.

The Browns are expected to bring QB Deshaun Watson back as their starter this week, and QB Dillon Gabriel would be capable of being a backup quarterback. I don’t expect the Browns to make a push to trade Sanders yet, but if a team comes through with a decent pitch, I wouldn’t be surprised if Cleveland considers an offer.
