The Cleveland Browns should be all over the opportunity to trade for Jonathan Allen. It’s a move that makes sense on multiple levels, and it could be the key to solidifying their defensive line for years to come.

Allen is a proven player who would immediately upgrade the Browns’ defensive front. He’s a disruptive force against both the run and the pass, and he’d be a perfect complement to Myles Garrett and Dalvin Tomlinson.

The Browns also have the cap space to make this deal work. They could restructure Allen’s contract to minimize his cap hit, giving them the flexibility to address other needs on the roster.

And let’s not forget about the potential trade package. The Browns could send Greg Newsome II to Washington in exchange for Allen, which would fill a need for the Commanders at cornerback while also clearing cap space for the Browns.

This trade would be a win-win for both teams. The Browns would get a much-needed upgrade on their defensive line, and the Commanders would get a young cornerback with a lot of potential. It’s a move that could make both teams better, and it’s one that the Browns should seriously consider.
