The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly acquired Greg Newsome II and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for fellow cornerback Tyson Campbell and a seventh-round selection in the same draft.

The teams confirmed the swap early Thursday morning, the second trade this week for the Browns, who also traded backup quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals.

Newsome, 25, is playing this season on a fifth-year option after being selected by the Browns with the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has recorded 23 tackles in five games (all starts) this season. The seventh-round pick Jacksonville receives originated with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Newsome has totaled 178 tackles and three interceptions in 59 career games (47 starts) with Cleveland.

Campbell, 25, has 34 tackles and a forced fumble in five games (all starts) this season, one year removed from signing a four-year, $76.5 million extension.

Cleveland received a draft pick in 2026 in the sixth round that Jacksonville received in a previous deal with the Jets.

Campbell has 296 tackles, six interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 60 career games (59 starts) with the Jaguars.

The Browns made multiple moves at the cornerback position on Wednesday, signing Dom Jones to the active roster, Dee Williams to the practice squad and placing Ameer Speed on the practice squad injured list.
