Terrance West Traded to Tennessee Titans for Conditional Draft Pick

One year after Terrance West was the Cleveland Browns' leading rusher, the team traded him to the Tennessee Titans for a conditional draft choice.

The Browns confirmed the move just a day after trade rumors began building around the running back.

According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News on Sept. 5, the Dallas Cowboys had contacted the Browns to discuss West. 

Browns head coach Mike Pettine previously stated Isaiah Crowell is the leader in Cleveland's running back corps heading into Week 1 against the New York Jets, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer.

According to Cabot, as far as Cleveland's depth at running back goes, Pettine said rookie running back Duke Johnson is still going through the concussion protocol after leaving the team's third preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second quarter. 

Dallas did make sense as a potential landing spot for West, but the Cowboys traded for Seattle running back Christine Michael earlier on Sunday, leaving the Browns to pursue other options. 

West has the potential to be a nice complementary player in Tennessee's rotation alongside Bishop Sankey, David Cobb and Dexter McCluster, using his big 225-pound frame to pick up tough short yards.
