Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey had not made a trade for several days and apparently the itch just needed to be scratched on Thursday.
The Browns sent veteran cornerback Jason McCourty and a 2018 sixth-round pick (No. 205 overall) to the New England Patriots in return for a 2018 sixth-round pick, No. 205 overall, from the Patriots.
The team reported the transaction on its website.
It was the second deal that Dorsey worked out with the Patriots – he traded defensive tackle Danny Shelton to New England on Saturday – and the move reunites McCourty with his twin brother, Devin, who is a free safety.
