BEREA, Ohio -- The winless Cleveland Browns were perceived to be sellers, not buyers, on the eve of the NFLs trade deadline. They proved that theory wrong Monday.Cleveland acquired Pro Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins from the Patriots in exchange for a conditional third-round draft choice, bolstering a defense that has allowed the most yards in the league.We traded for a great player, and that says a lot about our front office, Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said. When I heard we got Jamie Collins, I was so excited and so ecstatic. His athleticism and versatility are tremendous, and hes experienced.We got better today. The future aint what it used to be.The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder was a second-round selection by New England in 2013. He is earning $485,928 in the final year of his rookie contract, but negotiations for a new pact had stalled.Collins led the Patriots in tackles in each of the last two seasons, starting every defensive snap in their Super Bowl 49 victory. He has 285 tackles, 10 1/2 sacks and five interceptions in 50 career games, making him Clevelands most accomplished linebacker.Pryor and Collins, both 27-year-old pending unrestricted free agents, will receive huge raises if they hit the open market, but the Browns have the ability to prevent that with their NFL-high $47.6 million in salary cap room. They are only permitted to use the franchise tag on one player.I dont think we want to try Collins out, I think we would love to keep him, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson said. We know what he is, we know what he brings to the table, and I dont think we would have done this if we didnt think there was an opportunity to move forward with him.Collins is expected to join the team Tuesday, the leagues trade deadline. New England could wind up with a 2017 third-rounder or a 2018 fourth-round choice in the deal, depending on if he re-signs with the Browns.Nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas and two-time former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden have been mentioned as possible trade bait by Cleveland, but neither player said they expect to be dealt.Collins has 43 tackles, two interceptions and one sack in seven games this season, sitting out one contest with a hip injury. The Southern Mississippi product was an Associated Press second team All-Pro in 2015, when he was chosen for his first Pro Bowl.Jackson said he was uncertain if Collins will play inside or outside linebacker Sunday, when the Browns host Dallas.This young man, I think he gets it, so there are several things he can do, said Jackson, whose squad is 0-8. Lets get him here and well see where his comfort level is and what is most important to him. We will definitely find ways to plug him in and have him be a contributing member of our defense.On Aug. 25, the Browns traded linebacker Barkevious Mingo to New England for a fifth-round pick.Game notes Rookie WR Corey Coleman (broken hand) and rookie QB Cody Kessler (concussion) have been medically cleared to practice. Coleman, the No. 15 overall pick, was hurt on Sept. 18 against Baltimore. Kessler suffered a head injury two weeks ago at Tennessee. . Jackson was noncommittal whether QB Josh McCown or Kessler would start against the Cowboys. Obviously, Josh was the starter (Sunday in a 31-28 loss to the Jets), and we have to make sure Cody is ready to go, the coach said. I will worry about that as we move through the week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Trevor Bauer was already in a foul mood when he learned he would start the Cleveland Indians first game of the American League Division Series on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox.After giving up two runs and three hits in the sixth inning of the Indians 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, Bauer was told by manager Terry Francona in the dugout he would start the postseason opener.I told him why I was taking him out -- because he was going to start Game 1, Francona said. But he was kind of in the middle of beating up the dugout. So much for that feel-good moment.Bauer threw 96 pitches, tuning up for the postseason by striking out nine over six innings of three-run ball.I have a lot of confidence in my teammates and hopefully they have confidence in me, Bauer said. It should be fun. Like I said before, they tell me when to pitch and I go out there and pitch. Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, or whatever, theyre all important.Cy Young Award candidate Corey Kluber will pitch Game 2 on Friday after throwing a bullpen session Sunday. Kluber has not pitched since leaving a start Monday because of a quadriceps injury.Hell throw an extended side on Tuesday, which will line him up for Friday, Francona said.dddddddddddd Klub really wanted to pitch Thursday. Weve been talking about it for three or four days, but I just kind of overruled him.In fact, I know its the right thing for everybody. I dont think its fair for Kluber to have him sit for 10 days and have him pitch two games in four days (possibly in the postseason). He certainly wanted to. I kind of -- again not just me -- but talking to everybody -- I just took it out of his hands. Now he can prepare for Game 2. He can do that without the anxiety and worry or rushing.Kluber, who won the 2014 AL Cy Young Award and is a top contender for the honor this year, is 18-9 with a 3.14 ERA.The Indians are already without starting pitchers Carlos Carrasco, who is out for the season because of a nondisplaced fracture in his right pinkie finger, and Danny Salazar, who threw a bullpen session Wednesday and could throw a simulated game Monday, as he tries to make his way back from a strained right forearm.
