Browns Looking At At Trade With The Dolphins

[Harry Buffalo]

Would have been pissed if we gave up anything ahead of our final 5th rounder. Just swapping back a few spots in the 4th and 5th. I like the sound of that.

Solid slot receiver. Good move.

Excellent value trade. I like it

[Erie Dawg]

give him the #16 jersey and you wont even know the he left. looks like he has some great feet and knows how to run past the sticks for 1st downs. looks like we fucking stole him for a couple swapped picks.

[Canton Mike]

This move borders on unbelievable! We gave up NO picks....Count me as a happy ol' Browns fan!!

If its a 5th then it is a steal. We also have Nelson and Norwood and Benjamin, I think Cooper will be let go for sure now. . These little trades for Bess and Dion Lewis are very good additions for us

We will release cooper and Norwood now

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

We swapped 4ths and the gave them our 5th for their 7th.

We swapped 4ths, gave our later 5th at 164, they gave us Bess and a 7th.

Nice steal by the Browns, let's see what kind of money they pay him.

NFL Films piece on Bess from 2011.

Good stuff right there, a lot of those stories in sports. As for us getting him, he is a steal for what we did the trade for. I know A.J Green is a beast, but with gordon and Little and Wallace and Boldin leaving their teams, it looks like we have the best WR core now.

[JohnG71097]

Bess, 27 also brings a veteran presence a work ethic if you will to the wr group.

Not a bad move by Banner et al

[BadNewsBrowns]

Reports that Browns give Bess 3-year extension, $11.5M. $5.75M guaranteed

Bess passes physical.

[playerjdd]

Great Pickup!!! Most are not looking at our draft and factoring him in but we reaped him through a draft trade. We got him on the cheap as well. Here is a great video nfl films did on him. Def a feelgood story

[86collins]

We have two veteran WR's in Jones and Bess and that isn't bad. I like the trade.

Hearing that we gave up our 4th round pick for what I'm guessing will be our #4 or #5 WR. Little, Gordon, Benjamin followed by Bess and David Nelson from Buffalo.

Wrong Bess is good, #3.

[calfoxwc]

That's very impressive. Man, I hope he writes a book about it all...that would be great reading for a lot of kids

in poor neighborhoods, crime infested projects... great addition to the Browns.

The Leakin' Urinal compared him somewhat to Joe Jurevicius.....which is satisfactory to me.

With a lot more speed!

So where does Travis Benjamin equate in all of this... cut? This guy may not be as fast but his field vision and route running is way better. Plus we have Nelson and for the time being 5 udfa for camp fodder. Haven't seen this many wr's on our squad in a... well.. ever.
