The Cleveland Browns face a crucial decision regarding cornerback Greg Newsome II, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Drafted 26th overall in 2021, Newsome has shown flashes of potential but had a disappointing 2024 season, posting a career-low 55.2 PFF grade and a troubling 54.0 in coverage. With concerns about his performance, particularly in run defense and missed tackles, the Browns may consider whether or not to extend his contract.

Trade rumors are swirling, with the Miami Dolphins emerging as a likely suitor due to their need for starting-caliber cornerbacks. Miami's struggles have been highlighted by their unsuccessful attempts to secure other free-agent options. As the NFL offseason progresses, the Browns must weigh Newsome's past contributions against his recent performance and the potential for a fresh start with a new team.
