New York dealt the two biggest stars on deadline day, moving cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for two first-round picks and wideout Adonai Mitchell.

This year's rookie class has been promising for the Browns, and it felt like they could have offloaded at least another veteran or two for more picks.
