Already reportedly inquiring about a possible Jamar Taylor trade, the Browns are also shopping one of their young tight ends.
Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports the team is offering fourth-year tight end Randall Telfer to teams. A 2016 sixth-round pick, Telfer started 14 games for the Browns last season. However, he was a distant third among Cleveland’s tight end contingent in receptions, hauling in just three passes for 36 yards — numbers that came in well below David Njoku and Seth DeValve’s from 2017.
The Browns used Telfer on 300 offensive plays last season. The Browns acquired Telfer, a USC alum, during the Ray Farmer years. Now that they’re two regimes removed from their former GM, it would make sense John Dorsey is looking to bring in one of his own players at the position.
Cleveland reached an agreement with free agent Darren Fells this offseason, so Telfer’s place on the roster could be tenuous with both Njoku and DeValve expected to be in the 2018 mix as well.
Be lucky to get anything for him.
I was thinking the same. This is a hail Mary.
But it reminds me of the 4th round pick the 49ers got for Vance McDonald for the Steelers last year. That wasn’t before the draft though.

Actually I believe that it was Vance McDonald and their 5th round draft pick (168) for the Steelers 4th rounder (148) that is really trading back 20 spots.
I agree. Although I’m surprised they were able to move up a few spots in the late rounds for Kevin Hogan, so I guess that’s possible.
