Campbell signed a four-year, $76.5 million extension last year

The Jacksonville Jaguars sends cornerback Tyson Campbell to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for fellow 2021 draft pick Greg Newsome, the teams announced Wednesday night.

Jacksonville also received a sixth-round pick in 2026, while Cleveland got a seventh-rounder as part of the deal. “We are trying to win football games now, and part of this trade is that we think Greg Newsome helps us do that,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said. “We will be aggressive to make us the best possible team this year.”

“We felt like Greg’s skill set—with how we’ve shifted the defensive scheme to play with more vision on the quarterback—was a strong fit for how we operate,” Gladstone added. “His capacity to find the football was a trait he possessed.”

Campbell, a second-round pick from Georgia, had signed a four-year, $76.5 million extension last year with $54.4 million guaranteed. He totaled 296 tackles and six interceptions in 60 career games, including 34 tackles, six pass defenses, and a forced fumble this season. He’s expected to be active for the Browns’ upcoming matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Newsome, drafted 26th overall by Cleveland in 2021 out of Northwestern, is in the final year of his contract worth $13.4 million. He’s recorded 178 tackles and three interceptions across 59 career games, with 23 tackles and three pass defenses this season.
