Patriots Acquire Tyrone Wheatley Jr. From Browns For Pierre Strong Jr.

Aug 27, 2023 2:10 PM

In a depth-based trade, the New England Patriots acquired offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for running back Pierre Strong Jr. on Sunday.

Wheatley, the son of former Michigan standout and NFL running back Tyrone Wheatley, potentially helps address arguably the Patriots' greatest need. Injuries and inconsistency on the offensive line have been a top storyline in training camp and the preseason, and Wheatley gives them a developmental prospect with size (6-foot-6, 320 pounds) and strength.

Johnny Manziel struggled in the NFL and a new documentary has shed some light on why that might have been.
