The Cleveland Browns traded second-year defensive tackle Jowon Briggs to the New York Jets on Wednesday in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Jets also received a seventh-round pick in 2026 that initially belonged to the Buffalo Bills.


Briggs, who turns 24 on Sept. 1, appeared in six games as a rookie in 2024 and made 13 tackles, including one for loss, and two quarterback hits. He also recovered one fumble. He spent most of the season on the practice squad.

The Browns selected Briggs in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati.
