CLEVELAND — The Browns didn't do anything at the trade deadline to help them this season. Despite the need for a backup quarterback, Cleveland made just one move, trading wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round draft pick in 2025. Peoples-Jones had 61 receptions last season, but the Detroit native has just eight for 97 yards in seven games. The Browns added wide receivers Elijah Moore, Marquise Goodwin and Cedric Tillman this past offseason, pointing to Peoples-Jones potentially moving on. The 24-year-old gives the Lions some needed depth at receiver. Cleveland was thought to be looking for another backup QB with Deshaun Watson sidelined with a shoulder injury.
