The Cleveland Browns are likely to attack their need at the wide receiver position both through the draft as well as adding in free agency. While most of the big-name free agents, including Mike Williams, are unlikely to make it to free agency and the history of paying a receiver big money to switch teams is dreadful, Cleveland may not have a lot of choice.
One way to avoid the problems that can come with signing a free agent from another team, including the outlandish price tag, is by trading for one.
We’ve mentioned Calvin Ridley as a target for the team since our Browns Mock Offseason 1.0 dropped a few weeks ago. During his first three seasons in the league, Ridley never had less than 800 yards receiving including over 1,300 yards in 2020.
