What happened: The hypothetical deal would add a Super Bowl-winning edge defender to Cleveland's rotation. Wright is on season-ending injured reserve after rupturing his Achilles in practice.
Why it matters: Cleveland lost a projected starter weeks before the 2026 regular season. Another acquisition would add competition at a position the club has already reinforced since the injury.
By the numbers: Wright has 11.5 sacks and 98 tackles in 51 career games. This is his second season-ending injury in three years after a torn triceps ended his 2024 campaign.
What to watch: Watch whether Cleveland pursues a trade before its Sept. 13 opener or enters the season with its current edge rotation.
