The Browns are seriously spicing things up! They’ve been in talks to potentially trade their backup quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, with several NFL teams. Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round steal from the 2023 draft, has been locked in a heated battle with Tyler Huntley for that coveted No. 3 spot behind Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston. Huntley was brought in after Watson and Thompson-Robinson both ended their seasons in 2023 due to injuries.
Thompson-Robinson’s Comeback Story
Coming off a challenging hip injury that sidelined him back in December, Thompson-Robinson has been busting his chops this offseason. The young gun is gunning for that No. 3 spot with all his might, but the Browns might have a different play up their sleeve.
Trade Talks on the Horizon
Jackson from TheAthletic.com speculates that the Browns could be eyeing an experienced offensive lineman in exchange for Thompson-Robinson. And why not? With starting offensive tackles Jedrick Willis and Jack Conklin currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list, it would be a savvy move to shore up that O-line.
Preseason Performance
In case you’re wondering how he’s been doing under the preseason lights, Thompson-Robinson has shown some spark. In just two preseason games, he’s completed 27-of-35 passes for 260 yards. Sure, there was that one interception, but his stats are nothing to scoff at.
Last Season’s Rollercoaster
Let’s not forget his rollercoaster ride last season! Playing in eight games, with three starts, he threw for 440 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions. He had his ups and downs, but that’s all part of the NFL grind, isn’t it?
Scenarios and Speculation
- If the Browns pull this off and snag a seasoned offensive lineman, it might just be the golden ticket they need.
- Trading Thompson-Robinson could also provide him a fresh start, potentially blooming elsewhere in the league.
So, keep your helmets on, Browns fans! This trade talk could lead to a game-changing play – one way or another. Here’s to hoping it brings the Browns one step closer to the gridiron glory we’re all rooting for!
