After years of selling off spare parts for draft capital each season around Halloween, the Browns now are hoping to stay in the mix as a potential playoff team, which could mean they will be not just sellers, but buyers at the deadline. At least, the locals hope that is the case. And there\u2019s also some hope that Jerry Jeudy can be rattled off the roster in the coming weeks, too. <\/p>\n<p>Jeudy was a Pro Bowler two year ago, of course, and that\u2019s still a selling point on the trade market for him. But he was moody, unfocused and downright awful last season, and with the ascension of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/denzel-boston\/\" title=\"Denzel Boston\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"529887\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Denzel Boston<\/a> and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/kc-concepcion\/\" title=\"KC Concepcion\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"529886\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KC Concepcion<\/a>, Jeudy does not really have a sturdy seat in the Browns\u2019 wide receiver room. In fact, after starting the first two games of the season, Jeudy was bumped back to a reserve role each of the last three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Jeudy \u2018On the Hot Seat\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not new that Jerry Jeudy has been included in NFL trade deadline rumors\u2013that\u2019s been discussed since even before the Browns season kicked off. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/50176029\/hot-seats-players-coaches-week-6-barnwell#jeudy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external nofollow\">But ESPN\u2019s Bill Barnwel<\/a>l has something of a different spin. He says the pressure is on Jeudy to put some good tape out there in order to make himself an attractive piece and latch on with a contender. <\/p>\n<p>Barnwell highlights Jeudy as one of, \u201c15 NFL players, coaches on the hot seat entering Week 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No Long-Term Future With Browns <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/50176029\/hot-seats-players-coaches-week-6-barnwell#jeudy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external nofollow\">what he had to say <\/a>about  Jeudy\u2019s situation with the Browns as the NFL trade deadline nears: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s less chatter about Jeudy, whose role in the offense has been inconsistent. \u2026 Jeudy has a line of eight catches for 81 yards this season, but he\u2019s still only 27 years old and two years removed from a 1,229-yard campaign for the Browns in 2024. It\u2019s tough to see a long-term future for him in Cleveland, but how he plays over the next few weeks might determine whether there\u2019s real interest at the trade deadline from a team that wants to give the 2020 first-round pick a meaningful role. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf not, Jeudy might lose snaps to Boston, Concepcion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/4808839\/isaiah-bond\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isaiah Bond<\/a> and tight ends in the second half of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/seandeveneyheavycom\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sean Deveney<\/a> is a veteran sports reporter covering the NBA, NFL and MLB for Heavy.com.
