The Cleveland Browns are in desperate need of an offensive boost. They are just 1-3 on the season and rank 31st in the NFL in yards per game.

There’s a lot to criticize about the Browns’ struggles, but one thing is clear: Cleveland doesn’t have any weapons on the offensive side of the ball.

That’s why Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot has already linked the Browns to a pair of star wide receivers: Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins.

Adams submitted a trade request to the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, and many believe the Tennessee Titans will ultimately move Hopkins before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

The question is: do these wide outs actually make sense for Cleveland?

The Browns have a receiver of their own who could end up on the trading block: Amari Cooper. Cooper is in the final year of his contract and Cleveland showed no interest in extending him this offseason. With the Browns struggling, they may be able to sell him in the coming weeks.

That likely rules out Hopkins, who is in the same situation as Cooper: an aging pass-catcher in the final year of his contract.

But what about Adams?

The 31-year-old is under contract until 2026 and has shown that he still has plenty left in the tank. Would it make sense for the Browns to add him to their arsenal?

Of course, that depends on the direction Cleveland goes in the coming weeks. The Browns appear to be out of Super Bowl contention and have all kinds of issues, including the quarterback position. That means that acquiring Adams would be more of a step for the future than for 2024.

Either way, it should be an interesting situation for Cleveland to keep an eye on.
