Entering the 2018 season, the Cleveland Browns wanted to be able to play Jabrill Peppers closer to the line of scrimmage after he struggled playing as a free safety last season.
In order to move Peppers, the Browns needed to find another safety that can be a play-maker on the back end of the defense, but can also make tackles while in space.
The Browns’ answer to that problem was to trade for Damarious Randall this off-season, who played primarily at cornerback for the Packers since he was drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft.
