Browns eyeing two pass catchers during free agency

The Browns have been somewhat quiet since day one of free agency but it may be because they have something else planned. The team is eyeing two potential targets for QB Deshaun Watson.

Cleveland is reportedly interested in Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy and free-agent TE Donald Parham.

In order to acquire Jeudy, the Browns would need to make a trade with Denver in what could be a costly move. Cleveland only has picks No. 42 and 98 in the top 100 of the 2023 NFL Draft.

If the Broncos are looking for more compensation, it's unlikely Cleveland would make the move. But if they were able to add Jeudy to its receiving group, it would instantly be one of the top trios in the league.

Jeudy, who is still only 23, has dealt with some injuries to start his NFL career but he is coming off of his best season yet, posting a career-high 67 catches for 972 yards and six touchdowns in 2022. 

Parham seems to be the more realistic option and could still contribute alongside TE David Njoku. The 25-year-old has 40 catches for 479 yards and seven touchdowns in his career and shouldn't cost a ton.

If the Browns are able to land either of these players it would greatly benefit Watson who struggled in his return from suspension and isn't going anywhere anytime soon after signing his five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract a year ago.
