The Cleveland Browns reported to team headquarters in Berea on Monday for the official start of their offseason workout program.
Notably absent from the group is fourth-year defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
Emmanuel Ogbah did not report to the Browns offseason program today in anticipation of being traded in the near future, per source.

Ogbah has been at the center of numerous trade rumors since the end of the 2018 NFL season. Trade speculation has continued to build since general manager John Dorsey made a trade with the New York Giants for defensive end Olivier Vernon, who will take over Ogbah’s starting role opposite defensive end Myles Garrett.
