Browns linked to trade for Eagles WR to give Shedeur Sanders a true No. 1 image

The Cleveland Browns are entering this offseason with a lot of goals to accomplish, and while they might be searching for a new quarterback, they could stick with Shedeur Sanders for 2026, and if he doesn't work out, take a QB in the 2027 draft.

But, whether they stick with Sanders or land a new quarterback, the Browns need to find a way to improve the offense. Tight end and running back are strong rooms, but the offensive line, and especially the wide receiver room, need some help.

There's one wide receiver who could be a trade candidate this offseason, who the Browns should strongly pursue if possible. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown might be the best option for the Browns this offseason.

"And it feels like it's time," Fowler writes on an AJ Brown trade. "Some league execs have felt that way since October.... Other potential fits, via NFC scouts: the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and Las Vegas Raiders."

Adding Brown to the wide receiver room would be ideal for the Browns. He's a true number one wide receiver and would give Sanders a strong option in the passing game.

The veteran receiver has been great for the Eagles the last four years, and with the Eagles potentially entertaining offers for Brown this offseason, the Browns could jump into the fray with some high-quality ammo over the next few years.

While it won't be cheap, spending a first-round pick on Brown would be more than worth it to land a superstar of his caliber.

Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond aren't good enough to lead a wide receiver room. The team needs to add wide receiver help this offseason, and Brown would be a great veteran option who's also signed for some time.

Some NFL execs believe he could be traded, and if he's available, the Browns and Andrew Berry, who was formerly with the Eagles, should be all over this potential trade option.
