Browns are open to trading an unexpected player ahead of the NFL trade deadline that is quickly approaching

Jenkins, 31, is in his ninth NFL season and with his fourth team overall. He has recorded 21 tackles, one fumble recovery, and one interception this season. Over his career, the veteran safety has 11 interceptions and has primarily been a starter … though that hasn’t been his role in Cleveland. Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman have both been strong on the back end for the Browns, which makes Jenkins expendable. The rise of Hickman, an undrafted free agent in 2023, has especially made that possible. Hickman has posted 50 tackles and one interception this season.

Jenkins likely wouldn’t cost much to acquire, perhaps a sixth-round pick in exchange for a seventh-round pick would get a deal done. A team looking to make a playoff push would be an ideal fit for the versatile veteran who brings value on both defense and special teams. Jenkins has been a solid addition for the Browns, but moves like this are often made when you’re staring at a 2-6 record through the first eight weeks of the season.
