Cleveland Browns Eyeing Trade for Talented Second-Year RB from Notre Dame

The Cleveland Browns are poised to make moves ahead of the NFL roster cutdown day, potentially targeting Audric Estime from the Broncos.

With roster decisions looming, the Browns are on the lookout for valuable additions. Second-year running back Audric Estime, currently with the Broncos, could be in their sights. Denver’s crowded backfield might prompt a trade, with Estime catching the Browns’ attention.

Selected 147th overall in 2024, Estime showed promise in his rookie season with 310 rushing yards on 76 carries, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt. Scoring twice and adding 27 receiving yards on five catches, Estime’s versatility makes him an intriguing prospect for Cleveland.

The Browns’ running back situation is not without uncertainty, particularly surrounding second-round pick Quinshon Judkins. While Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson seem secure on the roster, contenders like Pierre Strong, Trayveon Williams, and undrafted rookie Ahmani Marshall are vying for spots.

If acquired, Estime could provide immediate depth and competition in the Browns’ backfield, potentially earning early-season carries and bolstering their offensive options.
