5 Recorded Trades

Oldest to newest

Trade 1

January 27, 1970

Cleveland Browns Win
Cleveland Browns C+
Tennessee Titans C

Cleveland Browns received

  • 1970 third-round pick (#66; conveyed to Dallas, which selected Charlie Waters)

Tennessee Titans received

  • Jerry Rhome

Cleveland traded Jerry Rhome to Houston on January 27, 1970 for Houston's third-round pick, No. 66. That choice did not become Cleveland's own drafted player: it was the conditional third-round payment Cleveland owed Dallas from the earlier Rhome acquisition, and Dallas used No. 66 on Charlie Waters. The record should preserve the acquired pick while making the downstream Dallas conveyance explicit.

Cleveland moved down from No. 8 in the 2016 draft and received Nos. 15 and 76 plus the 2017 No. 52 pick, which became Corey Coleman, Shon Coleman and DeShone Kizer. The Browns accumulated premium volume but did not turn the three core selections into lasting high-level value. Tennessee used No. 8 on Jack Conklin, whose immediate and sustained performance created the decisive advantage.

  • Leroy Watson

Cleveland traded tackle Leroy Watson IV to Tennessee on April 12, 2024 for the 227th pick in the draft. The Browns later used that seventh-round selection on South Dakota cornerback Myles Harden. Tennessee added familiar offensive-line depth, while Cleveland converted a reserve tackle into a young draft asset. The modest exchange still tilts toward the Browns, producing a C+ to C result.
