    Part of me hates trading away a capable player at a position that isn't exactly a strength, especially for a late draft pick, but the other sees that he was barely contributing and was gone after the season anyways, and if Tillman is ready to move into a more important role, I guess the Browns might as well let him.

    The other part of me thinks that might be the longest run-on sentence in history.

    Goff will find a way to make him a viable option because they have a head coach that will make sure they have every opportunity to make it happen.

    A big if at this point.  But we'll probably find out soon enough.

    Yeah, complete stab in the dark by me regarding this... I honestly had to think for a minute what his name was, he's been invisible this season so far.

    DPJ was a dime a dozen WR.  He had some nice moments, but he is just a guy.  We probably have 2-3 guys on the practice squad who can fill his shoes.

    We got a 2025 6th round pick for the guy.  Low compensation for a guy not in high standing around the league.  Good deal IMO.  We got something for nothing.  The Lions got a punt catcher.

  • Trading is now over for this season.   All we can do is sign FA's.  

    DPJ is no longer here.  Lets face it, he had Cooper, Njoku and Moore around him to draw coverage.  Time to see if the other WR's that we drafted can produce in the NFL.

    Player REC YDS YDS/REC LNG TD
     
    Amari Cooper 30 478 15.9 58 1
     
    David Njoku 28 293 10.5 41 1
     
    Elijah Moore 27 256 9.5 33 0
     
    Jerome Ford 15 106 7.1 19 2
     
    Donovan Peoples-Jones 8 97 12.1 29 0

    Jerome Ford is leading our team in TD receptions with 2?   Even scarier, that's 50% of the TD receptions after 7 games?   And Amari Cooper only has 1 TD at this point?   

    A passing game reduced to the vision of a backup QB's reading glasses isn't going to keep the WR Corps happy for long, if at all. - Captain Obvious

    Lucky for him, look at the volume of TD receptions by the WRs on this roster.  There's department store mannequins with just as many TD receptions as all of the WRs on this roster except Cooper (who has 1 TD reception).

  • But really this makes 0 sense to me, I know it’s his contract year and he’s gone after the season. But our WR room is not exactly bulging with talent to give away dpj for nothing.

    Allegedly browns were unwilling to give more than a 6th for Jacoby too. If Watson is sucking ass or missing in Baltimore the fan base will be very unhappy with that decision

    I thought he was worth  more  than a 6th round pick.   5th ?   Maybe 4th ?  But 6th are kind of a long shot grab here.

    I'm pretty sure the fine print read "and a walk-on QB to be named later".

    i bet that pick will end up as part of a trade
