The Cleveland Browns have moved quickly to address a critical need on their offensive line. They have struggled in the first four weeks, going 1-3 with their entire game falling apart. The Browns are trying to get on track by acquiring veteran tackle Cam Robinson from the Houston Texans.
Robinson, whose latest contract is worth $12,000,000, is a proven offensive lineman with 101 career starts. He brings experience and stability to a Browns line that has struggled protecting the quarterback. The team’s urgency for help at left tackle became clear after injuries and inconsistent play exposed weaknesses in pass protection.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz recently reported the new development in the NFL on his X profile.
“Sources: The #Texans are trading veteran OT Cam Robinson to the #Browns,” he wrote. “Houston signed Robinson to a 1-year deal worth up to $14.5M. Reliable veteran with 101 career starts.”
Schultz followed it with more details of the trade, shedding light on the urgent need for an LT in the Browns camp.
“Cam Robinson wants to play LT and he never really got a serious chance at doing that with the #Texans, especially with the organization preferring to go young at the position,” he added. “The #Browns had a glaring need at LT and they make the trade for the respected veteran.”

Robinson’s desire to play a starting role and his veteran experience made him an ideal fit for Cleveland, which had a glaring vacancy at left tackle. The Browns’ offensive line has allowed nine sacks through the first four games of the 2025 season, ranking 14th in the NFL for most sacks allowed.
The move also highlights Cleveland’s willingness to invest in proven talent to fix immediate needs. Robinson’s addition should improve both pass-blocking efficiency and run-game consistency. His leadership and knowledge of the position are valuable for mentoring younger linemen while strengthening the overall unit.
Is It Time for a QB Shakeup as Browns Add Veteran Stability?
Browns fans are growing increasingly frustrated with Joe Flacco’s recent struggles. In Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, Flacco threw three interceptions, including a pick-six, and completed just 16 of 34 passes for 184 yards. Many feel the offense has stalled under his leadership.
Supporters are calling for rookies Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders to get a shot as the Browns’ starting quarterback. The biggest point of argument is that Sanders or Gabriel can’t possibly do worse than what Flacco has been doing.
Despite the growing pressure, head coach Kevin Stefanski continues to back Flacco publicly, emphasizing team accountability. The situation highlights the Browns’ offensive struggles but also their proactive approach to solving them.
