Browns Acquire Olivier Vernon From Giants
6 years agoThe Cleveland Browns acquired defensive end Olivier Vernon and the No. 132 overall pick (fourth round) from the New York Giants on Friday in exchange for offensive guard Kevin Zeitler and the No. 155 overall pick (fifth round), according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport. Zeitler has been one of the better guards in the NFL and will help shore up New York's weak offensive line. Vernon has missed a lot of time with injuries the last two years, but he still managed seven sacks in 11 games in 2018 and was Pro Football Focus' No. 8 edge rusher. If Vernon can stay healthy in 2019, Cleveland's pass rush could be quite dangerous.
