2025 Fantasy Outlook
Newsome was the subject of trade rumors during the offseason, and the Browns would incur no dead money if they found a taker. However, Newsome's regression in 2024 makes finding a taker a challenge. No area of Cleveland's defense underperformed more than its secondary in 2024, where Newsome (54.0 coverage grade) and Martin Emerson (48.6) had their worst seasons. Newsome's reception rate climbed to 67.4 percent, and his drop-off was noticed by the coaching staff, which made him a starter just three times in 13 games. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Back on field
Newsome (hamstring) participated during OTAs on Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome spent the last four games of Cleveland's 2024 season on its injured reserve list with a hamstring issue, but he's now back in football shape for offseason workouts. He's also entering the final year of his rookie contract having established himself as a quality starter. He projects to start again in 2025 alongside Martin Emerson and reigning Pro Bowler Denzel Ward.

Newsome shifted to slot corner in his second season and performed better, per Pro Football Focus, despite not liking the new role. Both he and Denzel Ward played the slot during camp, so there should be some movement among Newsome, Ward and Martin Emerson in defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's scheme. That trio is a strong coverage unit and perhaps make up the best level of the defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Early trade candidate
Newsome is a trade candidate as the Browns approach training camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic suggests.
ANALYSIS
Newsome has settled into a slot role for the Browns, but has seen his role diminish in each of the last two seasons. He'll enter the 2025 season on the final year of his rookie contract and could be competing with outside corner Martin Emerson for a long-term contract. Both are set to be free agents next offseason, and the team will likely prefer to hang onto Emerson due to his status as a full-time player.
