Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Jaguars are trading S Ronnie Harrison to the Browns for a 2021 fifth-round pick on Thursday.
This comes shortly after Tyler Dunne reported that the Jaguars are in the process of moving Harrison.
The Browns lost second-round S Grant Delpit for the season, which led to a lot of speculation about Cleveland possibly signing a notable safety like Earl Thomas or Tony Jefferson.
However, it appears as though they felt trading for Harrison was their best option in the end.
From the Jaguars, perspective, Mark Long explained that Jacksonville has been impressed with S Josh Jones, who was a former second-round pick by the Packers in 2017 and has bounced around a few teams.
Harrison, 23, was selected with the No. 93 overall pick out of Alabama by the Jaguars in 2018. He agreed to a four-year, $3,263,032 contract that includes an $803,032 signing bonus.
In 2019, Harrison appeared in 14 games for the Jaguars and recorded 71 tackles, two sacks, one fumble recovery, two interceptions and nine pass defenses. Pro Football Focus rated Harrison as the No. 65 safety out of 83 qualifying players.
