Jaguars, Browns agree to trade that swaps starting CBs

The Cleveland Browns remain the most active NFL team on the trade market.

The Browns have agreed to trade CB Greg Newsome II to the Jacksonville Jaguars for CB Tyson Campbell, according to multiple reports. The two sides have also agreed to exchange draft picks as part of the deal. Jacksonville gets a 2026 sixth-round pick and Cleveland gets a 2026 seventh, according to multiple reports.

It’s the second trade in as many days for the Browns, who shipped Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

However, this time, Cleveland gets a player and picks in return.

Newsome had been a name rumored to watch as the 2025 NFL trade deadline approaches and the former No. 26 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is officially on the move. He joins a Jaguars team that just defeated the Chiefs on ‘Monday Night Football’ to improve to 4-1 on the season.

In 59 career games, Newsome has accounted for 178 total tackles, one sack, three interceptions, a defensive touchdown and 37 defended passes.

On his way to Cleveland is Campbell, a former second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has played in 60 career games and recorded 297 tackles, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, six interceptions and 42 defended passes.

The trade between the two franchises comes about six months after the Browns sent the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Jaguars, who then selected cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter.
