Jerome Ford, Browns
The Cleveland Browns are going nowhere, fast, which means they have every reason to try to trade Jerome Ford. The former fifth-round pick is a perfectly adequate starter who can thrive in a committee, but he’s in the final year of his contract and probably doesn’t have a future with this team. Second-round pick Quinshon Judkins already looks like one of the league’s better backs, and fourth-round pick Dylan Sampson has shown promise with limited opportunities.
Ford is a jack of all trades, master of none, who should do well on the Patriots wide-open running back depth chart. New England already has a great offense, so they don’t need a superstar to lead their rushing attack. They just need someone who can hold onto the ball and find open space.
