The Cleveland Browns didn’t cut Terrance West, but trade interest in Texas could lead to a deal being made before Week 1. 

When the Cleveland Browns drafted speedster Terrance West a year ago in the NFL Draft, it was one of the more exciting picks that the team has made in the recent past. The experiment hasn’t failed either, as West made the final cut on Saturday and is part of the Browns roster heading into the start of the season next weekend. In fact, the experiment has succeeded to such a degree that there is reportedly trade interest in the former third-rounder and he could be on the move this season.

According to Aaron Wilson, the Cowboys have called the Browns about getting West, but the asking price from Cleveland was way too high.

Dallas has been looking for a running back as of late, as they’ve been involved in talks and rumors revolving around Montee Ball and the Denver Broncos.

It’s unclear what the Browns are asking for in return for West, but it was apparently too much for what the Cowboys were looking for. So far this late offseason, most trades have involved late-round picks, so something like a fourth-rounder could be considered too high of a price for a team to pay if they want to trade for a player.

Dallas isn’t the only team in Texas interested in West. According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, the Houston Texans have reached out to the Browns about a trade for West, but so far nothing has happened.

West has speed and his ability to develop into a solid back is something that teams clearly see. Cleveland is among those teams, as he survived the 53-man roster cut and is on the Browns regular season roster. The only question is, how long will he remain on Cleveland’s roster or will he be starting Week 1 with another team? Even if a trade isn’t made before the first week of the season, West will be a name to watch on the trade wire until the deadline arrives later this season.
