Bengals

• Brown mentioned the Bengals would have a higher asking price in regards to trading QB A.J. McCarron or anyone else to the Browns since they are a divisional opponent: “Trading within the division that is included in the calculation of the price.” (Paul Dehner Jr.)
• Brown went on to say that he is “not looking” to trade McCarron but he will listen to offers. Although, any trade for McCarron would come at a “steep” price. (Geoff Hobson)
• Browns pledged his full support of CB Adam Jones, who is facing three misdemeanor charges for assault, disorderly conduct, and obstructing official business: “Maybe I am overly tolerant. If so, so be it.” (Paul Dehner Jr.)

Titans

Titans GM Jon Robinson said the team is always willing to listen to trade offers and that they will move around in the 2017 NFL Draft if a suitable option presents itself.

“With what we did last year, moving around in the draft, I think teams view us as an organization that is willing to position itself and move around in the draft,’’ Robinson said. “We are not a team that is opposed to listening and having conversations about trying to put ourselves in a position to better the team.

Although Robinson said he is willing to trade around in the draft, he also indicated that the Titans could stay put at No. 5 and No. 18 in the first round.

“We are just looking to put ourselves in a position to help the team. If that means moving around in the draft, if it means sticking and picking, we are going to do what is best,” said Robinson.
