    The Cleveland Browns have become one of the most followed teams this off-season, largely due to their quarterback situation.  Drafting Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders certainly set the stage for an interesting quarterback competition.

    Now reports are surfacing that the Browns were turned away in a trade attempt.

    It was expected that the Browns would make a big splash on offense this offseason through trades – but that hasn’t happened. According to one NFL insider, the Browns have shown interest in acquiring a top-tier wide receiver:

    According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Browns were among the teams that expressed interest in trading for former first-round pick Chris Olave. Ultimately, the New Orleans Saints chose not to deal the star wideout.

    “The Saints got inquiries from the Browns and Steelers early in the offseason, and rebuffed them, and Olave’s had a really nice offseason since. Maybe someone blows New Orleans away with an offer. But he’s not on the block, and I have a hard time thinking he’s going to be traded.” — Albert Breer, Sports Illustrated

    Olave was limited to just eight games last season and has dealt with concussions during the first three years of his career. However, the former Ohio State standout posted 1,000-yard seasons in both of his first two years. His best campaign came in 2023, when he played in 16 games and recorded 1,123 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

    Jerry Jeudy had a breakout season for the Browns last year, surpassing the 1,000-yard mark, and enters 2025 as the team’s top receiving option. Tight end David Njoku will remain a key part of the offense, while the Browns are hopeful that Cedric Tillman and Jamari Thrash can continue to develop.

    Adding Olave would have given the Browns another elite playmaker — a player who could make multiple Pro Bowl appearances if he can stay healthy.
