Should The Browns Look To Trade Greedy Williams?

Another factor worth noting is that Cleveland doesn’t have many holes on the team right now.

This team appears to be an all-around roster that could compete for a Super Bowl in 2021.

It’s uncertain what kind of attention Williams would get on the trade market or if the return would be worth it.

Williams isn’t likely to be traded before training camp unless it’s a package deal with draft picks for a Pro Bowl caliber talent.

Keeping Williams (For Now)

Let’s assume Cleveland doesn’t trade Williams before Week 1.

He’ll likely have a role on the defensive unit even if Newsome takes over as the No. 2 option.

Obviously, Cleveland has high hopes for Newsome since they drafted him in the first round.

Although, Williams hasn’t really been given a fair chance in a coherent system.

The ability and talent are there, but the Browns need to find a way to tap into it.

Having Williams as a backup or rotational player gives them an advantage over other organizations.

Everyone knows injuries happen and it’s nice to have a player like Williams as a backup plan.

Right now, Cleveland probably doesn’t gain much from trading Williams.

His value is fairly low and the Browns wouldn’t get a reasonable return for him.

They’d be better off waiting and seeing if Williams can play well enough to build up his trade value.

Then, possibly mid-season, organizations will show interest in Williams and Cleveland can strike a deal if they feel it’d help them.

At the moment, trading Williams seems unnecessary unless it’s in a package to obtain a Pro Bowl caliber talent for Cleveland.
