Cleveland Browns Consider Trading Cedric Tillman Amid Roster Changes

The Cleveland Browns are contemplating a trade involving wide receiver Cedric Tillman as the regular season approaches. With the second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills imminent, Tillman, a former third-round pick, has not participated in practice due to injury and missed the first preseason game.

As Tillman is in a contract year and has struggled to maintain consistent play during his time with the Browns, a trade could be beneficial for both parties. The Houston Texans recently lost wide receiver Jaden Higgins to a torn ACL, creating a need for additional receiving options. Tillman, who stands at 6-foot-3, could fill this gap, especially given his previous experience starting for the Browns.

While Tillman's role in Cleveland has diminished due to a crowded wide receiver lineup, a trade to Houston could provide him with a fresh start. The Texans may only need to offer a late-round draft pick to acquire him, making this a feasible option for both teams.
