Broncos trading WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland for pair of 2024 draft picks, sources say

The 2020 first-round draft pick, subject of rumors for more than 18 months, is headed to Cleveland in exchange for a pair of Day 3 draft picks, multiple sources confirmed Saturday morning to The Denver Post.

The Broncos finally traded Jerry Jeudy.

Denver is receiving the first selection of the fifth-round (No. 135 overall) and a sixth-rounder from the Browns, a source said.

This is not the first time Cleveland’s made a run at acquiring Jeudy. The club made a run at him in November in the lead-up to the trade deadline as well. This time, the sides got a deal done.

Denver now has eight draft picks in April’s draft and saves $12.987 million on its 2024 salary cap by trading Jeudy ahead of his fifth professional season.
