Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Jets and the Browns.
Braylon Edwards
Braylon Edwards was a first-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, selected by the Cleveland Browns. Known for his speed and leaping ability, the wide receiver out of Michigan had an impressive start to his career, peaking in 2007 (with the Browns) when he made the Pro Bowl after recording 1289 yards receiving and 16 touchdowns.
Despite this, inconsistencies and drops plagued his tenure with the Browns. After four seasons in Cleveland, he had stints with the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.
Over his career, Edwards amassed over 5500 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns, highlighting his potential, though he may not have fully lived up to his lofty draft position.

Selected as the first overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1987, Testaverde played for seven teams, with his longest tenures at Tampa Bay and the New York Jets.
Despite a rocky start with the Buccaneers, Testaverde went on to throw for over 46,000 yards and 275 touchdowns in his career, making two Pro Bowl appearances. He led the Jets to the AFC Championship game in the 1998 season.
He holds the NFL record for throwing touchdowns to 70 different players, a testament to his lengthy career and adaptability. Testaverde retired in 2007, wrapping up one of the longest careers for a quarterback in NFL history.
