The Cleveland Browns are unexpectedly at the top of the AFC North for the first time in, well, forever, and quarterback Deshaun Watson is finally on the field.
It hadn't been a perfect season for the Browns, and this team is still 4-2, but it's been a darn good one. However, one well-known wide receiver has been the center of trade buzz, and he could make a move before the November trade deadline.
That player is wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. In a feature published on Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal shares an exchange Jeudy had with a reporter about whether he's talked to Browns general manager Andrew Berry about the trade deadline.

"I'm going to keep that," Jeudy said when asked if he's talked to Berry.
Then, a reporter also asked Jeudy if he would welcome a bigger job with a different team.
"I'm focused on this week, man. I'm not answering no type of questions like that," he said to the media.
During the Browns' 13-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, he had a huge game. It was Jeudy who caught a massive pass on a third-and-5 play to set up a game-winning field goal. He hasn't notched a touchdown since the first week of the season, but that doesn't mean he's without value.
Looking at the Browns' roster, he's obviously one of the players who would garner trade interest. Good wideouts are hard to find. The Browns just have to figure out if they want to lose him and what he's worth. If he goes, Watson will likely miss him.
