CLEVELAND — More moves happened Monday in the NFL as the draft approaches.

On Monday, the Cleveland Browns traded defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for safety Eric Murray.

Ogbah did not report for the start of the Browns' offseason program Monday, a sign that a trade was being discussed. The 25-year-old was picked with the No. 32 pick three years ago by Cleveland.

He had 12½ sacks in 40 games, but became expendable when the Browns acquired edge rusher Olivier Vernon from New York in the deal for Odell Beckham Jr.

Needing a safety, Dorsey went out and got Murray, whom he picked while he was the Chiefs GM in 2016. Murray became expendable when the Chiefs signed free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Murray started nine games and appeared in 15 last season, making 43 tackles and an interception.
