Cleveland added depth to its offensive line on cutdown day by acquiring Rams tackle KT Leveston, sending a seventh-round pick in 2028 to Los Angeles. This marks the Browns’ second trade in as many days, following Monday’s deal that sent quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Raiders for a fifth-round pick in 2026.
Leveston, listed at 6-4 and 336 pounds, was a Rams seventh-round pick last year after transferring from Kansas State. He can play both tackle and guard, giving Cleveland a valuable versatile option as the team navigates injuries and roster depth. With veteran Cornelius Lucas recovering from an ankle issue, Leveston could be counted on as a swing tackle or interior lineman.
Cleveland’s current starting tackles are Dawand Jones and Jack Conklin, so Leveston’s role will likely be as depth with potential versatility on the inside as needed.
What this move means for the Browns:
– Adds tackle and guard versatility to bolster depth on the line.
– Signals ongoing roster reshaping on cutdown day, reinforced by the prior trade of Kenny Pickett the day before.
– Provides insurance behind a pair of starters and could improve the team’s rotation if injuries persist.
Overall, the Browns are prioritizing depth and flexibility on the offensive line as they finalize their roster for the season, aiming to protect the quarterback and stabilize the protection schemes.
