Browns cornerback Greg Newsome is often mentioned as a player who could be traded, but Newsome says he’s putting it out of his mind.
Newsome says sometimes family members hear the rumors and ask him about it, but if it weren’t for those interactions, he wouldn’t even know.
‘I don’t pay attention to it, but that’s obvious my family and so on tell me and ask me,” Newsome said via the Akron Beacon Journal. “What goes through my mind is nothing. I feel like I’m comfortable here. I have the feeling that [General Manager Andrew Berry] and the owners and all my coaches know what I’m capable of, they know what I bring to this team, not just on the field, because I’m one of those glue guys, I’m a guy who’s always energetic, celebrating, whatever’s going on whatever happens, I feel like they know my worth. So I wasn’t too worried about that.”
The 23-year-old Newsome was the Browns’ first-round pick in 2021, and the Browns must make a decision in the coming weeks on whether to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. At least for now, he’s staying in Cleveland, and he seems to believe that’s where his future lies, too.
