Greg Newsome’s admission after being traded to the Jaguars may have given a peak into how the Browns’ locker room is feeling

Newsome went from being with the 1-4 Browns who are on track to have the No. 2 pick in 2026 once again. Now with Jacksonville, Newsome is with a team that is 4-1 and just beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Cleveland owns the first round pick of the Jaguars in 2026 after their draft day trade back in April with the No. 2 and No. 5 overall picks that were spent on CB Travis Hunter and DT Mason Graham. Newsome gets to spend the fifth year of his contract with a team that is on track to make the playoffs, unlike the Browns. 

While with Cleveland, Newsome has made three interceptions in five seasons with the team since he was a first-round pick back in 2021. Newsome has always been a starter for the Browns with his first two seasons coming on the outside, while the 2023 and 2024 seasons he spent in the slot. Due to an Achilles injury to Martin Emerson Jr., Newsome has been pushed back outside this season and has played very well. Cleveland didn’t see itself extending Newsome and he now gets that opportunity in Jacksonville.
