The Browns didn't get much at all
How did the Browns fare on their end of the trade? Well ... not so hot.
The first-round pick in 2011 was used to trade up and select defensive tackle Phil Taylor. The next three picks were used on Greg Little, Owen Marecic and Brandon Weeden, while the fourth-round selection in 2012 was sent in the package deal that landed the Browns Trent Richardson. Ouch.
Richardson was eventually dealt to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round pick, so the Browns recouped some of his value, but that pick was used on Johnny Manziel, who has been less-than-stellar early in his career. Taylor lasted the longest of the players acquired via the Jones trade, though he never made it to a second contract. The Browns released Taylor during the first series of cuts in 2015, absorbing a nearly $5.5 million dead money hit in the process.
