Browns trade WR Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Lions for 6th round pick in 2025

Smells like Jimmah trying to save some money.

Allegedly browns were unwilling to give more than a 6th for Jacoby too. If Watson is sucking ass or missing in Baltimore the fan base will be very unhappy with that decision

The DPJ trade makes total sense to me.

The above on the other hand is mind-boggling. Do they think Walker is doing well? His stats say otherwise! It is questionable whether Watson returns to form, if he returns at all, and we are effectively without any back-up!!

Good.

DPJ's numbers are quite low. Do we want to blame the QB for that?

I'm sorry to see him go. He was a hard worker. Never heard a bad word from or about him. As far as contested catches, he excelled. And he improved his punt catching and returns. But sadly, he apparently was never open to throw the ball to him. As a receiver, ya gotta create some separation. I wish him the best of luck!

I liked DPJ. Certainly not a breakaway type WR but has good hands (despite the pre draft scouting reports saying otherwise). Weird he was nearly invisible this year though.

The last scUM guy we traded was pretty good too, and is still playing in NE ( Peppers).

Dumb trade... They literally gave him away... Stupid Browns still doing stupid things...

he was not being productive #1

#2 we would lose him in F.A at years end

# 3 the money we save was can give to Cooper. and we get a 5 th round pick

Trading is now over for this season. All we can do is sign FA's.

DPJ is no longer here. Lets face it, he had Cooper, Njoku and Moore around him to draw coverage. Time to see if the other WR's that we drafted can produce in the NFL.

REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
Amari Cooper	30	478	15.9	58	1
David Njoku	28	293	10.5	41	1
Elijah Moore	27	256	9.5	33	0
Jerome Ford	15	106	7.1	19	2
Donovan Peoples-Jones	8	97	12.1	29	0

Part of me hates trading away a capable player at a position that isn't exactly a strength, especially for a late draft pick, but the other sees that he was barely contributing and was gone after the season anyways, and if Tillman is ready to move into a more important role, I guess the Browns might as well let him.

The other part of me thinks that might be the longest run-on sentence in history.

Goff will find a way to make him a viable option because they have a head coach that will make sure they have every opportunity to make it happen.

and if Tillman is ready

A big if at this point. But we'll probably find out soon enough.

Yeah, complete stab in the dark by me regarding this... I honestly had to think for a minute what his name was, he's been invisible this season so far.

DPJ was a dime a dozen WR. He had some nice moments, but he is just a guy. We probably have 2-3 guys on the practice squad who can fill his shoes.

We got a 2025 6th round pick for the guy. Low compensation for a guy not in high standing around the league. Good deal IMO. We got something for nothing. The Lions got a punt catcher.
