Browns Cornerback Responds Clearly to Report That He Wants to Be Traded

Cornerback Greg Newsome has provided the Browns with a pair of solid seasons since Cleveland took him 26th overall in the 2021 draft.

However, the Browns secondary has become more crowded recently, particularly with the offseason addition of safety Juan Thornhill. This has invited trade speculation around Newsome—speculation he shut down in a memorable tweet Tuesday morning.

Citing a source, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports reported Tuesday morning that Newsome wanted a trade. Responding to Stainbrook’s report, Newsome wrote, “Ok y’all sit back a minute and lets think about this together. I just launched a softball game in Cleveland.”
