Word on the street is the Cleveland Browns are looking to dump veteran wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, and they’re asking for a premium price ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. Even with the Browns sitting pretty at 3-2 and in the early AFC playoff picture, insider Jordan Schultz reported Tuesday that it’s “pretty well known around the league that Jeudy’s available.”

A Pro Bowler Turned Afterthought

Here’s the kicker: Cleveland is reportedly looking for “something in that early third to fourth range” for Jeudy. But Schultz is straight-up saying, “I’m just not sure they’ll be able to get it.” And honestly? You just have to look at the numbers to see why.

Jeudy’s first season with the Browns back in 2024 was a Pro Bowl year, no doubt. He hauled in 90 catches for a whopping 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. That’s big-time production. But then, the drop-off hit. In 2025, he finished with 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. And this season? Through five games, he’s only got eight catches for 81 yards and zero touchdowns. Six of those eight catches came in the last two games, which is a slight uptick, but let’s be real: Jeudy is clearly an afterthought in Cleveland’s passing game.

Young Guns Pushing Jeudy Out

It’s not hard to see why the Browns are ready to move on. They’ve got some serious young talent they’re trying to build around. Denzel Boston, Harold Fannin Jr., and KC Concepcion are all considered long-term building blocks for that AFC North squad. And get this: Isaiah Bond, another young receiver, already has more receiving yards than Jeudy this season, with 86 compared to Jeudy’s 81. When you’ve got younger guys outperforming you and taking your targets, you become expendable. And the rest of the league knows it.

That’s the real problem for Cleveland. Every other team is well aware that Jeudy is on the outs, and that completely guts any leverage the Browns thought they had. They might want a mid-round pick, but if they actually want to make a move before the November 10 deadline, they’re probably going to have to settle for a lot less. It’s a tough spot for them, for sure.

While the league watches to see what Cleveland does with Jeudy, our Hawks just came up short in a tough one. The 49ers walked away with a 32-29 win over Seattle. We all know that sting. But hey, it’s a long season, and there’s plenty of ball left. Gotta keep that 12s energy high for the next one!
