Greg Newsome Speaks Out on Rumored Trade Request

Tuesday afternoon sent Cleveland Browns fans through a whirlwind of emotions. First came a report that cornerback Greg Newsome II had requested a trade out of the blue. Not long after, though, there was then a separate report that refuted this information.

Newsome's representation finally cleared up the situation by sending word through ESPN's Adam Schefter that the CB is not seeking a new home.

Following this drama, Newsome spoke out about the rumors on Twitter.

The former first-round pick made it clear that he's happy in Cleveland. He pointed out he "just launched a softball game" in the area, implying that isn't something someone on the way out would do.

With the draft quickly approaching, it's no surprise to see trade rumors popping up as franchises and players evaluate their respective futures. This time of year is a busy one for movement around the league, so it'd be no surprise to see some deals in the coming days.

However, it doesn't appear as though Newsome will be involved in any potential swap. He seems very content to keep building on his time with the Browns.
