Dealt to Cleveland The Patriots are trading Winovich to the Browns in exchange for LB Mack Wilson, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Impact Wilson is an off-ball linebacker, while Winovich is more of an edge rusher. Both have starting experience, yet mostly served as backups in 2021. For Winovich, it was a disappointing season in which he failed to record a sack and played only 13.5 percent of New England's defensive snaps in his 13 games. Prior to that, the 2019 third-round pick had 5.5 sacks as a rookie and another 5.5 in his second season. It remains to be seen if the Browns view Winovich as a likely starter of a sub-package player for 2022, the final season of his rookie contract.
