In a recent trade deal, the New England Patriots have sent running back Pierre Strong Jr to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
The news, also shared by Rapoport on “X” (Twitter), has sparked discussions among fans and analysts.
This player-for-player trade has caught the attention of football enthusiasts, with some expressing their appreciation for the straightforward nature of the deal.
The Patriots have a history of making trades with the Browns, as one Reddit user pointed out, referencing the Winovich/Wilson trade from last year.
Tyrone Wheatley Jr, son of former Raiders legend Tyrone Wheatley, has been a surprise for some fans who were unaware of his football career.
Meanwhile, Pierre Strong Jr, a South Dakota State University standout, leaves the Patriots’ roster. Although he may be missed by some fans, the move was deemed necessary by others.
The Patriots’ need for offensive tackle depth led them to acquire Wheatley Jr, who has shown promise during the preseason.
Browns fans are eager to see how Strong Jr will contribute to their team, while Patriots supporters are hopeful that Wheatley Jr’s coaching and potential will make a positive impact on their offensive line.
As the NFL season progresses, both players will have the opportunity to prove their worth to their respective teams.
