The Cleveland Browns have traded Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a conditional seventh round pick in 2019.

Kessler became expendable on Sunday when the Browns signed veteran Drew Stanton.

The Browns drafted Kessler in the third round of the 2016 draft out of USC, and he was pressed into service as a rookie when Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown both went down with injuries.

Kessler was never a favorite of coach Hue Jackson.

The New York Giants are seeking at least first round picks in exchange for Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants insist, however, they are not shopping Beckham in trade talks.

There have been reports that Beckham would not play this season without an extension, while another report indicated the Rams were pursuing a trade for him.

"Neither Odell nor his agent have contacted us regarding either report," Gettleman said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. "So to be clear: I'm not going to respond to questions about either report, and as I stated earlier, every decision I make is going to be in the best interest of the New York football Giants."

While there have been some off-field issues with Beckham, he has been widely considered a good teammate and a hard worker.

"The kid works his fanny off," Dave Gettleman said. "His [ankle] rehab is going terrific. He sends us pictures, sends us a video about him running. He's an excellent worker."

It remains to be seen if the New York Giants have real interest in trading Odell Beckham, Jr., but it's clear that the Los Angeles Rams would like to acquire the wide receiver.

According to a source, Beckham has told a few Rams players that "he wants in." The report, from the New York Daily News, is vague. It could be that he wants to remain with the Giants, but if traded, would be interested in the Rams and young quarterback Jared Goff.

Any interested team would likely want to sign Beckham to a long-term extension. He's entering the final year of his contract at $8.4 million.

The Los Angeles Rams have approached the New York Giants about trading for Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham lives in Los Angeles in the offseason.

The Giants are asking for a first round pick plus additional assets. The asking price is not believed to be two first round picks.

Snead is one of only two GMs who have made trades already with Dave Gettleman as Giants GM, and the other is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Jason Licht, who just re-signed his own wideout Mike Evans to a megadeal himself.

Beckham doesn’t have a no-trade clause, but his familiarity and affinity for the area could help him acclimate better than he would in other markets. 

The Philadelphia Eagles didn't receive any serious offers for Nick Foles this offseason.

The Eagles were unlikely to trade Foles unless they received a first round pick.

"We did not," Doug Pederson said when asked if the team got any interesting trade offers for Foles. "Nothing too crazy. It had to be the right deal for us to do that. But there wasn't anything coming down our way for Nick."

Foles will revert back to being Carson Wentz's backup.

"He's totally fine being that mentor, sort of in that backup role, helping Carson along the way," Pederson said of Foles. "That's who Nick is. That's who he is. And when called upon, he's going to perform, but he understands this is Carson's team and he's going to support him every way he can."

Earl Thomas could join Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, Sheldon Richardson and others to leave the Seahawks this offseason.

"Hopefully I stay, but right now, nobody knows," Thomas said. "It's a guessing game, so we'll see."

Thomas is more likely to be traded than released.

"In my case, whether I'm in Seattle or anywhere else, I'm going to be rich and happy regardless," Thomas said. "So it's a cut-throat league, but if you're at the top of your game and you don't give them any reasons to devalue, you're good. That's just how I look at it."

While Kyle Shanahan always held a high opinion of Jimmy Garoppolo, he preferred the 49ers' plan of pursuing Kirk Cousins.

Shanahan worked with Cousins when he was an assistant coach with Washington.

"For Kyle, I think the thing I would tell people," Lynch shared, "is we made the trade and then there were some days that Kyle Shanahan was like in mourning, because I think everybody knows his master plan was to have Kirk Cousins come in eventually.

"I was proud of Kyle. Because I think he knew that this was the right thing for our franchise, and he didn't hesitate. But even then Jimmy had to really prove himself. I think it was really smart. [Kyle] didn't play him right away. He waited until he had some semblance of an understanding of our scheme when he did put him in. And he put him in in a position to succeed. And then I would tell you that Jimmy really impressed Kyle, to the point that he said, This is our guy."

Shanahan acknowledged to The MMQB's Albert Breer that the specter of Cousins hung over Garoppolo's early days in San Francisco.

"Yeah, of course, it was there," Shanahan said. "Everyone knows how I feel about Kirk. And for anybody who knows how I feel about Kirk, I think this shows how I feel about Jimmy, the fact that we ended up doing this. I'm not a guy who's going to get excited and just go with the momentum, at all. I usually do the opposite, question it to make sure I'm absolutely confident, and not go with the momentum or the excitement.

"Talking about Kirk, understanding where he could be in the next year, for me to feel this way about Jimmy? It says a lot about Jimmy."

Cousins signed with the Vikings this offseason after Washington traded for Alex Smith.

The New York Giants have traded Jason Pierre-Paul and a fourth-round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source.

The Giants will receive a third-round and fourth-round pick in 2018.

The Buffalo Bills have the assets to move up in next month's NFL Draft for a quarterback, but they aren't yet ready to make such a bold move.

"The truth? Most of these quarterbacks I've only spent 15 minutes with. [At the combine, each team can meet with prospects for a maximum of 15 minutes per player.] I haven't spent enough time to have an opinion about any of them yet, honestly," general manager Brandon Beane said.

"I actually sent a little note to our [scouts] yesterday. We got six weeks to get our board together. I am not there yet, knowing if we can or will move up again. I want Sean [McDermott] to get to know all of them. We're just keeping an open mind. Where we're at, we've got the picks, we've got the draft capital. I'm not ready to pull the trigger."

After trading Tyrod Taylor to the Cleveland Browns, the Bills have two first-round picks (No. 21, No. 22) as well as two second and third-rounders.

The New England Patriots will acquire Cordarrelle Patterson in a trade with the Oakland Raiders, according to multiple reports.

The teams are expected to swap late-round picks in the deal as well.

Patterson is entering the final year of his contract. He is due a non-guaranteed base salary of $3 million. He has a $250,000 workout bonus as part of the deal.

The Patriots might use Patterson more as a kick returner than wide receiver.
