The Jets sent a sixth-round choice to the Browns in exchange for Briggs and a seventh-rounder.
Selected by the Browns in the seventh round of the 2024 draft, Briggs became available when Cleveland added Mason Graham in the first round of this year’s draft after selecting Michael Hall in the second-round last season.
