Jeudy's Absence Raises Eyebrows at Browns' Minicamp

0:00On April 21st, Todd Monkin kicked off his first minicamp as Cleveland Brown's head coach with a three-day voluntary workout for Vets ahead of the 2026 NFL draft Most of the squad showed up in Berea for day one where Shedder Sanders, Dishon Watson, and Dylan Gabriel took turns leading 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills. It's early April, but this March the real start of the Monkin era Not everyone made it though with Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward, and Jerry Judy notably absent for non-injury reasons While Garrett and Ward are locked in franchise stars, Judy Skip stands out, especially with trade buzz swirling after Monkin Shedded down an in-an ESPN chat last month fans and analysts are buzzing about Judy's no-show Coming off a rough 2025 season where he struggled to click with Sanders Drops plagued him, dropping his yards per catch to a career low 12.0 Making it his least productive year in six NFL seasons

1:00The Browns plan to grab at least one wide receiver in the draft may be with one of their two first-round picks and Judies in the last year of his three-year 52.5 million dollar extension from 2024 Trading him after June 1st could free up nearly four million dollars in cap space Monkin called the workouts fully voluntary and said he'd love everyone there But Judy's absence from the first throwing session with Sanders and Watson raises eyebrows as the team's top receiver It doesn't help his case heading into a maker break off season
