The Facts: According to SI.com's Albert Breer, Bryant’s name was raised as a potential trade candidate, and Breer knows the Browns would at least look to other teams on him, with David Njoku entrenched and the 2020 fourth-rounder headed into a contract year.

Diehards Line: The 2020 fourth-round pick has flashed potential through his three seasons in the NFL. He earned All-Rookie Team honors after hauling in 24 receptions, and he’s added another 52 catches over the past two years. The 6-5, 230-pound tight end finished this past season with a career-high 31 catches for 239 yards. Remember, the Browns made Njoku the NFL’s highest-paid tight end last offseason. Then, this offseason, the team added former Deshaun Watson teammate Jordan Akins, pushing Bryant even further down the depth chart. With the 25-year-old set to hit free agency following the season, it’d make sense for the front office to consider trading him vs. likely losing him for nothing next year. If a deal did come to fruition, the Browns would likely turn to 2022 UDFA Zaire Mitchell-Paden or 2023 UDFA Thomas Greaney as the third tight end on the depth chart.
