The Browns have agreed to send backup Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2019 seventh-round draft pick.

Earlier in March, the Browns landed Tyrod Taylor in a deal with the Buffalo Bills. Cleveland also sent DeShone Kizer to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for defensive back Damarious Randall.

Cleveland is trading Cody Kessler to Jacksonville in exchange for a 2019 conditional seventh-round draft pick, both teams announced Wednesday.

A mere one year after coach Hue Jackson asked reporters to trust his evaluation of the 2016 third-round pick, Kessler fell out of favor, beginning the 2017 season third on the depth chart behind rookie DeShone Kizer and former scout-team quarterback Kevin Hogan.

Kessler started eight winless games in two years with the Browns, generating a 63.8 completion rate at 6.9 yards per attempt with a 6:3 TD-to-INT ratio and a respectable 87.4 passer rating. Although he flashed plus accuracy and pocket movement in nine rookie-year appearances, Kessler lacks the arm strength of an NFL starter.

The Browns also signed quarterback Drew Stanton on Monday, though Cleveland is widely expected to draft a quarterback with either the No. 1 or 4 overall pick in April’s NFL draft.

From our research and through getting to know Cody during the draft process, we know he is a smart, tough and competitive young man and we expect him to be a great addition to our quarterback and offensive meeting rooms.”

Kessler was selected by the Browns in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft and started eight games in his rookie season. He was usurped for the 2017 season by DeShone Kizer but appeared in three games. He completed 11 passes for 126 yards.

The Browns have changed up their quarterback corps by trading with the Buffalo Bills for Tyrod Taylor and signing Drew Stanton as a free agent.

In Jacksonville, Kessler will serve as the back-up to Blake Bortles, who led the Jaguars to the AFC Championship Gam
