This page lists all the 2026 Trades for the Cleveland Browns. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2026 – Trades


Browns acquire OT Tytus Howard from Texans for 5th-round pick
The Texans have been very busy today. They acquired David Montgomery, all while trading two offensive linemen. I’m not sure if dealing blockers away for a new running back is the best strategy to strengthen a ground attack, but perhaps Houston’s front office knows better.

I don’t get this trade for the Texans. Tytus Howard is a quality pass protector who can play right tackle and guard. He turns 30 in May, but he should still have several strong seasons remaining in his career. Houston’s offensive line has been a weakness, so it makes no sense to trade someone like Howard for a mere fifth-round pick.

The Browns definitely won this trade. They had a huge need at both tackle spots, and Howard will be a big upgrade on the right side. He can also play guard in the event of an injury, so he’ll be extremely useful for Cleveland. This was a great trade for the Browns.
