The Cleveland Browns need to give their quarterback, Deshaun Watson, lots of help. Right now, they don’t have their star running back, Nick Chubb, because he’s healing from a knee injury.
To make things worse, their tight end David Njoku is out with a high ankle sprain. The Browns are in trouble because they don’t have many other good tight ends. Jordan Akins is the next man up, but he’s never been great as the top option.
Cleveland needs to act fast to fix this problem. They might look at the Las Vegas Raiders and think about bringing back Harrison Bryant. He used to play for the Browns and knows the team well.
Bryant spent four years with Cleveland before joining Las Vegas this season. He’s not a superstar but can be useful in scoring situations. Plus, having three tight ends on the roster is better than just two.
The Raiders list Bryant as their third-string tight end behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. This means he could be traded for draft picks since he’s not crucial for them right now.
A trade for Bryant would be straightforward. The Browns have plenty of 2025 sixth-round picks that they could offer to the Raiders.
This deal would help both teams. Cleveland gets a better tight end group, making things easier for Watson. The Raiders get a draft pick for someone who’s not part of their future plans.
It’s unclear if any official talks have happened yet, but Cleveland will likely think about bringing Bryant back.
