Overview

  • Jacksonville receives Greg Newsome II and a 2026 sixth-round pick via the Jets, while Cleveland gets Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-rounder via the Eagles, per multiple reports confirmed by both teams.
  • Campbell arrives in Cleveland on a four-year, $76.5 million extension signed in 2024, whereas Newsome is playing on his fifth-year option and is set to reach free agency after this season.
  • Team officials and analysts cited scheme fit and finances as drivers: Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Newsome fits their vision-based defense and helps them win now, while Campbell’s traits suit Cleveland’s man-leaning approach.
  • Near-term usage remains in flux, with reports noting Campbell must quickly learn the Browns’ playbook for Sunday in Pittsburgh and Newsome expected to be ready to contribute for Jacksonville against Seattle.
  • Cleveland’s move follows a busy week that included trading QB Joe Flacco to the Bengals, and the Jaguars will recalibrate corner roles with options including Jourdan Lewis, Jarrian Jones and rookie Travis Hunter.
