Browns trade Jowon Briggs; now thriving with Jets in 2026
Summary

The Cleveland Browns traded defensive tackle Jowon Briggs to the New York Jets during the offseason after selecting Mason Graham in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Briggs, a seventh-round pick in 2024, had limited appearances in his rookie season with Cleveland. Since joining the Jets, he has made significant contributions, playing all 17 games in 2025 and accumulating 38 tackles and four sacks. Analysts are questioning whether the Browns acted prematurely in letting him go, given their current defensive needs in 2026.
