After a busy offseason that included acquiring Deshaun Watson and Amari Cooper, the Cleveland Browns may still look to make additional roster moves. Here are three players who could potentially be traded in 2022:

Baker Mayfield

• Currently carries $18.8M cap hit
• Had inconsistent 2021 season due to shoulder injury
• Browns likely to trade him after Watson acquisition
• Timing depends on Watson's NFL ruling and team's backup QB needs

Greedy Williams

• 2019 second-round pick entering final contract year
• Limited role with Ward and Newsome as starters
• Played 56% of defensive snaps in 2021
• Could be traded rather than lost in free agency
• Trade more likely if Browns fall out of playoff contention

Jordan Elliott

• Third-year DT competing for starting role
• Limited production: 0.5 sacks, no TFLs in 32 games
• Only played 44% of defensive snaps in 2021
• Faces competition from new additions:
  • Taven Bryan (free agent)
  • Perrion Winfrey (rookie)
  • Glen Logan (rookie)
  • Tommy Togiai (2021 draft pick)
• Could be odd man out if Browns add veteran DT

The Browns have +2000 odds to win the Super Bowl in 2022. These potential trades could help reshape their roster as they pursue a championship run.
