The Cleveland Browns are actively seeking potential trade targets as they finalize their 53-man roster before Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. NFL deadline. Following Anthony Schwartz's preseason struggles, wide receiver has emerged as a critical position of need.

Here are the top trade targets the Browns should consider:

Darius Slayton (WR, Giants)

  • 2019 5th-round pick with solid production (700+ yards in first two seasons)
  • Recorded 338 yards and 2 TDs in limited action last year
  • Giants reportedly listening to trade offers
  • Would provide immediate upgrade over Schwartz

Andy Isabella (WR, Cardinals)

  • Previous Browns target with 4.3 speed
  • Strong 2023 preseason (5 catches, 115 yards, 1 TD in finale)
  • 2019 second-round pick available for likely conditional late-round pick
  • Could benefit from change of scenery

Denzel Mims (WR, Jets)

  • 2020 second-round pick who requested trade
  • Impressive preseason finale (9 catches, 100+ yards, 1 TD)
  • Trade availability unclear after recent performance
  • High upside with fresh start

Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, 49ers)

  • Potential upgrade over Jacoby Brissett
  • Browns have shown varying levels of interest
  • Would face competition from Seahawks if released
  • Could provide more reliable quarterback play

The Browns will need to act quickly before Tuesday's deadline, with wide receiver being the most pressing need to address through either trade or waiver wire additions.
