NFL: Broncos trade Jerry Jeudy to the Browns

DENVER (KDVR) — The NFL said Saturday that the Denver Broncos will trade wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns for fifth and sixth-round draft picks.

The move will be made official on March 13th, 2PM MT.

Jeudy, 24, had been with the Broncos since being drafted as the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He is in the final year of his contract. He was set to play on the fifth-year option with a $12.987 million guaranteed contract.

With the trade, the Broncos will not add any dead cap, clearing up almost $13 million of salary space.

Jeudy finished 2023 with 54 receptions, 758 yards and two touchdowns.

With the trade, the Broncos will receive the Browns’ fifth and sixth-round draft picks or the No. 135 and No. 202 overall picks.

The Broncos have made several other changes to the roster during the offseason.

The team announced last week that it would release quarterback Russell Wilson, and announced Thursday that it would release safety Justin Simmons.
