There are plenty of options to choose from.</p><p>Funny enough, there’s not even a bonafide No. 1 pick in this class. It has been a toss-up between Shedeur Sanders from Colorado and Cam Ward from Miami.</p><p>However, Jeudy has had <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39701826/denver-broncos-jerry-jeudy-traded-browns-means" rel="noopener">6 different quarterbacks</a> while with the Denver Broncos. He played with Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater, Russell Wilson, Brett Rypien, Jeff Driskel, and Jarrett Stidham.</p><p>For the Browns, he’s played with Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Due to the carousel of quarterbacks throughout his career, Jeudy made it clear who he hopes the Browns draft.</p><p>“You got to get a QB man, you got to get a quarterback,” Jeudy said on the Up &amp; Adams Show with Kay Adams. “You got to get a guy that can swing that thing.</p><p>“That’s the piece that we’re missing.

Rookie, not a rookie, just a quarterback that knows how to go out there and make plays and give the play makers the ball consistently to win games, that’s all that matters.”</p><p>Originally, Watson was going to be that guy. Unfortunately though, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-deshaun-watson-ruptures-achilles-second-time-3-months">Watson suffered another Achilles injury setback</a>. Furthermore, the Browns extended Myles Garrett to a lucrative contract.</p><p>The defensive and even offensive pieces are there. They simply need a quarterback.</p><p>As Jeudy mentioned, he wants someone who can win games. Cleveland has the talent to do so, but having an elite quarterback is a must.</p><p>Either way, the Browns might want to listen to one of their rising players.

Although he can talk shop about the Raptors and Ravens all day, what's really always on his mind is having finished his undergrad without having won a single fantasy or intramural league.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cleveland Browns</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Cleveland Browns entered the 2024 season with higher expectations than usual following their snagging of a playoff berth in 2023. While the season didn’t unfold as hoped, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-explains-jerry-jeudy-silent-week-16-bengals" rel="noopener">emergence of WR Jerry Jeudy</a> has been a clear success story. Head coach Kevin Stefanski believes Jeudy’s breakout campaign, capped by his first Pro Bowl selection, vindicates the Browns’ offseason decision to trade for the former first-round pick.</p><p>Jeudy, acquired from the Denver Broncos for 2024 fifth- and sixth-round picks, made an immediate impact in Cleveland. The 24-year-old receiver surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career and earned a starting spot in the Pro Bowl alongside AFC stars like Ja’Marr Chase. For Stefanski, Jeudy’s success this season validates the Browns’ investment.</p><p>“I’m excited for him to finish strong,” Stefanski <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-1-2-25/" rel="noopener">said when reflecting</a> on Jeudy’s Pro Bowl nod. “I think he’s proven to be the guy we thought he was when [GM] Andrew Berry went out and acquired him. He’s a very, very good separator, very intelligent, which I knew coming into this. That’s allowed us to move him around the formation. He’s made a lot of big plays for this football team in a variety of ways. I think Jerry’s a really versatile player.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jerry-jeudy-trade-between-browns-broncos" rel="noopener">The trade for Jeudy</a> initially raised eyebrows around the league. Critics questioned whether the Browns had overpaid for a player who hadn’t lived up to his potential with the Broncos. However, the Browns quickly showed confidence in their new acquisition, signing him to a three-year, $52.5 million extension before the season began. Jeudy has rewarded that faith, becoming one of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s most reliable targets and an integral part of the offense.</p><p>Jeudy’s versatility has been key to his success in Cleveland. Whether lining up in the slot, as a deep threat, or making plays in the intermediate passing game, he has consistently created separation and made critical catches. His efforts helped the Browns remain competitive during a season filled with ups and downs.</p><p>When asked about the Pro Bowl honor, Jeudy credited his teammates and expressed optimism for the future. “We have all the players that we need to be able to be a good team,” Jeudy said. “It’s time to be a good team next year.”</p><p>Jeudy’s breakout year adds another cornerstone to Cleveland’s roster. Alongside Pro Bowlers Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett, Jeudy gives the Browns a core of elite talent to build around. His success also highlights Andrew Berry’s acumen in identifying and acquiring undervalued players.</p><p>With Jeudy under contract for the foreseeable future and Stefanski’s confidence in his abilities clear, the Browns hope this season’s bright spot will be a launching pad for bigger things in 2025. As the franchise looks to return to playoff contention, the emergence of Jerry Jeudy provides both justification for a bold move and hope for what’s to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Throwing Dorian Thompson-Robinson in at quarterback in place of Jameis Winston did not work, and it resulted in a quiet day for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-peter-schrager-pushes-back-against-jerry-jeudy-madden-trade-story">star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy</a>, which drew an interesting take from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-qb-plan-dolphins-ugly-loss-bengals">head coach Kevin Stefanski</a>.</p><p>Jeudy enjoyed a star turn with Winston under center, but he did not enjoy the same success with Thompson-Robinson throwing him passes, as he caught just two passes for 20 yards. When asked about Jeudy’s lack of involvement, Stefanski said Cleveland obviously made it a goal of theirs to get him the ball, but the Bengals defense <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-12-23-24/" rel="noopener">ultimately prevented them from doing so</a>.</p><p>“When you’re talking about any type of target, it’s our job as coaches to put together a game plan where your best players are obviously the primary, but then you have to go with what the defense does,” Stefanski said on Monday. “That’s the other piece of it, I think, when you’re coaching the quarterbacks, make sure they understand that the ball goes where the ball goes, dictated by coverage.”</p><p>“Obviously, there’s things that we do and will always continue to do to try to get our guys open. And certainly, it’s no secret that Jerry is a huge, huge part of our offense. So, it goes without saying that we want him to touch the ball more.”</p><h2><b>Kevin Stefanski, Browns will look to get Jerry Jeudy back on track in Week 17</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-2.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jeudy had been on fire heading into this game, as he racked up 49 receptions for 786 yards and three touchdowns over his past seven games. His quick connection with Winston certainly helped, but he couldn’t get on the same page with Thompson-Robinson, who generally struggled when throwing the ball against Cincy. It also didn’t help that the Bengals gave Jeudy a lot of attention given his strong play as of late.</p><p>Stefanski could have designed plays, such as screens or designed handoffs, to get Jeudy the ball, but they ultimately did not do that against Cincinnati. Considering how poor the offense was in Week 16, Stefanski and company will have to go back to the drawing board ahead of Week 17, with the hope being they can get Jeudy more involved against the Miami Dolphins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The specific story surrounded a rumor of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">Jets owner Woody Johnson nixing a trade</a> for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy because of his rating in the popular video game which garnered a response from Peter Scharger.</p><p>Schrager was on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” where he spoke about the team and pushed back on the specific story due to sources he spoke to. He would say that New York didn’t get Jeudy because the Cleveland Browns<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAdL2R-T_Ds&amp;t=2031s" rel="noopener"> had more to offer</a> than them which is why the receiver currently plays there.</p><p>“The Madden thing, I’m not going to discredit that things like the Madden ratings could come into play,” Schrager said. “I’ve spoken to sources, the Jerry Jeudy trade wasn’t happening because the Cleveland Browns offered something better and that’s why. It wasn’t because his Madden rating wasn’t what it was.”</p><p>Speaking more about rumors surrounding how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-woody-johnson-teen-sons-accused-meddling-bashing-jets-players">Johnson’s teen sons are involved in decision-making</a>, Schrager would say how around the team they are.</p><h2><b>Woody Johnson’s sons “are around” the Jets </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Woody-Johnson-on-Dec.-8-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>He would have some empathy for one of the owner’s sons, Brick, and how he hears how he’s a “good kid,” but gets “lambasted” in the reporting from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.</p><p>“You go to these Jets games and you see the sons in pregame and they look cool, they’ve got the blazers on and they got the sunglasses on and they’re walking the sidelines,” Schrager said. “This is a freshman at Harvard and a kid in boarding school their dad and mom own the New York Jets and they have all access to do, like I don’t spite the kids and I don’t spite the owner, but what it is, it is true these kids are around and I feel bad for Brick the older one because everyone says he is a good kid and he’s getting lambasted in the article.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-davante-adams-reunites-aaron-rodgers-trade-raiders">Jets would instead trade for Davante Adams</a> instead of Jeudy, but the latter is having the better season recording 70 catches for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, all but the scores being career-highs. Jeudy would even respond to the rumors about Madden ratings deciding his fate with the team, calling it <a href="https://x.com/DanielOyefusi/status/1869824407994290494" rel="noopener">“fake news,”</a> according to Daniel Oyefusi.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it,” Jeudy said. “I think that’s fake news… Why would somebody look at Madden rating.

I don’t think that real, but it’s funny.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Browns WR Jerry Jeudy said he doesn’t believe the report that Jets owner Woody Johnson vetoed a trade because his Madden rating (81) was too low. <a href="https://t.co/qH3S2c7L60">pic.twitter.com/qH3S2c7L60</a></p><p>— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielOyefusi/status/1869824407994290494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>At any rate, the Jets are amidst a disappointing season where Johnson looks to hire a general manager and a head coach for next year as they are currently 4-10.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Thursday, though, he found his name mentioned in a bombshell report on the New York Jets, which claimed that they backed out of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">trade for Jeudy</a> because owner Woody Johnson thought his rating in the popular “Madden” video game series was too low.</p><p>Amid what has been an absolutely miserable season for the Jets and their fans, it was another gut punch considering how good Jeudy has looked over the past couple of weeks. The star receiver himself <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jerry-jeudy-on-jets-madden-report-i-think-thats-fake-news" rel="noopener">isn’t buying the rumors</a>, though, as he thinks there’s no way any would actually turn down a trade because of a player’s “Madden” rating.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it. I think that’s fake news,” Jeudy said on 92.3 The Fan. “For real, why would somebody look at Madden ratings? Be real. I don’t think that’s real, but it is funny. I’m glad that I’m here. I’m glad my Madden rating was low. Yeah, got me here.”</p><h2><b>Jerry Jeudy happy to be with Browns amid Jets rumors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s no doubt the suggestion that the Jets turned down a trade for Jeudy because of his “Madden” rating is absurd, but if there’s one team who could believably be foolish enough to do that, it’s the Jets. And while Jeudy doesn’t seem to believe that actually happened, he probably doesn’t care too much because of the success that he’s enjoyed with the Browns.</p><p>Through 14 games, Jeudy has amassed 70 receptions for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down, even with the Browns having nothing left to play for. It’s fair to wonder how things would have gone for him if he landed in New York, but instead, he will be looking to keep his hot streak going when he takes the field in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
