The Cleveland Browns have had a transformative offseason, marked by major acquisitions and departures. Here are three players who could potentially be traded in 2022:

Baker Mayfield

• Currently carries an $18.8M cap hit
• Lost starting role after Browns acquired Deshaun Watson
• Trade timing depends on Watson's NFL ruling
• Browns may keep him if Watson faces lengthy suspension
• Teams hesitant due to high salary

Greedy Williams

• 2019 second-round pick with expiring rookie contract
• Limited playing time (56% defensive snaps in 2021)
• Behind Ward and Newsome II on depth chart
• Missed 2020 season with shoulder injury
• Trade likely before free agency in 2023

Jordan Elliott

• Third-year defensive tackle with limited production
• Only 4 career starts, 0.5 sacks in 32 games
• Played 44% of defensive snaps in 2021
• Faces competition from new additions:
  • Taven Bryan (free agent signing)
  • Perrion Winfrey (rookie draft pick)
  • Glen Logan (undrafted rookie)
  • Tommy Togiai (2021 draft pick)
• Could be traded if Browns add veteran DT

The Browns are actively reshaping their roster after acquiring Watson and Cooper, making these players potential trade candidates as the team continues building a playoff-caliber squad.
