Browns Cooling On Trading Duke Johnson?
6 years agoIt appears the Cleveland Browns have cooled on attempting to trade running back Duke Johnson. "I don’t know why we would ever want to, like, just voluntarily give up a good football player. Duke Johnson is a good football player. Duke Johnson will have a role on our football team," head coach Freddie Kitchens said. As of now, the Browns plan on using Johnson as a complementary back behind Nick Chubb while Kareem Hunt serves his eight-game suspension in 2019. Johnson's role shrunk when Kitchens took over as offensive coordinator last year, but he's still versatile and should help in the passing game, even if fantasy owners avoid him.
