The Cleveland Browns have lost four of their first six games after an offseason of splashy moves, and the team will look to make more deals, specifically to improve at offensive tackle, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Offensive-line play has been an issue for the Browns this season, as they have allowed Baker Mayfield to be sacked 16 times so far.

Starting left tackle Greg Robinson, who was acquired this past summer, has been benched for Week 8's tilt versus the undefeated New England Patriots. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Justin McCray, whose natural position is guard.

Sources believe that Robinson's move to the bench foreshadows a move the Browns will make to get an upgrade at left tackle, added Schefter.

The team has been connected to disgruntled Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, as well as Giants tackle Nate Solder ahead of the deadline.

Williams will not be traded this season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
