Report: Browns trade CB Jamar Taylor to Cardinals

The Cleveland Browns have been shopping cornerback Jamar Taylor since they drafted former Ohio State star Denzel Ward with the No. 4 overall pick, and they have found a suitor.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Browns have agreed to a trade that will send Taylor to the Arizona Cardinals.

The #AZCardinals are finalizing a trade for #Browns starting CB Jamar Taylor, sources say. Corner is a big need for Arizona and Taylor fills it. Cleveland had shopped him during the draft and the two sides kept talking. The trade is expected to happen after 4 pm.

Taylor’s numbers weren’t all that great in 2017, but he recorded 62 total tackles and had 10 passes defensed while appearing in all 16 games for the Browns. The former second-round pick had three interceptions and 13 passes defensed in 2016, and he should provide the Cardinals with some much-needed depth in their defensive backfield.
