Texans and Browns Strike Trade Deal: Offensive Tackle Cam Robinson and Pick Swap Involved
Cleveland Browns Strengthen Offensive Line with Acquisition of Cam Robinson
Cleveland Browns Secure Veteran Tackle Cam Robinson from Houston Texans
The Cleveland Browns have made a strategic move to bolster their offensive line by acquiring veteran left tackle Cam Robinson in a trade with the Houston Texans. The trade involves a swap of late-round draft picks, official sources confirm. Robinson, who inked a $10.75 million one-year deal with the Texans in March, saw limited action, making just one start in four games.
Immediate Impact on the Cleveland Browns’ Offensive Line
As a 2017 second-round pick, Cam Robinson is set to become the immediate starter at left tackle for the Browns. Cleveland has faced challenges with four different starting combinations in their offensive line over the first four games of the season. The Browns have been in urgent need of a reliable left tackle, with KT Leveston becoming the third starter in the recent loss to Detroit.
Cleveland Browns’ Injury Woes Create Urgency
| Position | Player Status |
|---|---|
| Right Tackle | Cornelius Lucas (Current Starter) |
| Left Tackle | Cam Robinson (New Acquisition) |
| Inactive Reserve | Thayer Munford (Signed from Practice Squad) |
Cleveland’s right tackle, Dawand Jones, suffered a season-ending knee injury, prompting Lucas to switch back to right tackle. With Zak Zinter still sidelined, the Browns have actively sought reinforcements for their offensive line, including the recent signing of tackle Thayer Munford from New England’s practice squad.
A Look at Cam Robinson’s Career and Future Outlook
Turning 30 on October 9, Robinson brings a wealth of experience, having started 102 games throughout his career. Previously with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings, Robinson started the 2025 season opener for Houston but subsequently moved to a backup role. The Browns assume responsibility for Robinson’s remaining $2 million base salary.
