3 offseason moves from AFC North rivals that Ravens fans can laugh at

2. Browns trade for Jerry Jeudy
The Browns decided that Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore weren’t enough at the wide receiver spot, and they upgraded by making a trade with the Broncos that sent a few late-round picks to Denver as former first-round pick Jerry Jeudy ended up coming back to Cleveland.
Jeudy wasn't blessed with amazing quarterback play in Denver, but paying him more than $17 million per season on a team where he won't even be the No. 1 wide receiver seems a bit risky. Depending on how much Moore develops, Jeudy might be the No. 3 passing target this season.
The Ravens can laugh at the Browns' investment in Jerry Jeudy
Cleveland is already in some tough financial straits due to the contracts handed out to Myles Garrett (more than deserved) and quarterback Deshaun Watson (not deserved), and Jeudy is only going to eat into their depth even more. The odds of retaining Cooper and Nick Chubb shrunk after the Jeudy acquisition.
Those hoping for a bump in production now that Jeudy is out of Denver are banking on Watson, who is perpetually hurt and regressing hard when he isn't injured, to turn back the clock. Jeudy is a very good receiver in this league, but this contract and situation seem like the wrong team at the wrong time.
