  • I'm hoping that any added 2018 picks are being stock piled to go all in for Sam Darnold.

  • The #Browns are seriously getting calls about Brock Osweiler. Seriously.

  • Fucking brilliant

  • Something that's just occurred to me - what if we don't trade Osweiler for a pick and package that etc etc, but include Osweiler (on a new contract where we give him a $10m bonus today and then trade him tomorrow for example) in a package sent to the Pats?

    I'm not following.

  • I'd rather have the 3 2nds

    There's a lot of talk about trading Osweiler for a third round pick or whatever, then using that pick as part of a bundle to get Jimmy G. Cut the middle man and send Osweiler to NE with whatever other picks?

  • just got in from work,what did I miss 😮? Arrsswielder..give me 2 hours to catch up.

  • Forget paying $16m for the pick, and realise we'll either trade him (and then it becomes different) or, we cut RG3 and so we're only really worse off by $8.5m.

    Plus it was pointed out on NFL Network that we are in a position where we have to spent to satisfy that whole minimum payroll thing in the CBA and this helps that.

    Anyone care to speculate on the paying for picks thing? Basically how we get away with it...

    Because it was a player trade...

  • If we move Ossweiler on what happens to his contract?

    Ie the pats aren't going to take his deal on, I don't know how it all works

    Take the player out of it for a second: the Browns just got a 2 for a 4. I'm no analytics genius but... good move, Sashi.

    Well they got a 2nd round pick for moving back from the 4th to the 6th round this year.

    Also I hope Osweiler feels like the $16 million piece of shit that he is.

  • I say no to trading for Jimmy G. this year. Kessler has more game experience than JG. We can always just buy him next year and the save the picks. I am not convinced that he is the savior that everyone else believes.

  • Unless somebody already mentioned this they are looking to trade him for a 3rd rounder in 2018 or 2017 and are willing to eat half of the 16 million dollar salary in effect buying a second round 2018 pick for 8 million bucks with which to trade for.....

    .

    So we could get to our min cap and take a 2nd rounder in the process? That sounds too good to be true

  • This is ammo for another QB. Be it trading up from 12 or JG.

    lol... he's a lot more attractive at $8mm/yr...

  • "The #Browns draft picks after the Osweiler trade:

    2017: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6

    2018: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7"

  • Also I think it still remains to be seen how Sashi turns out as a player evaluator, but if he does end up losing his job here some time in the future, you sure as hell can bet he is going to get picked up by a good team to run trades for them. Look at this off the wall trading the past year.

    Moved back 27 spots in the 7th round to take Jamie Taylor, a poor performing CB who ended up just needing a change in scenery. Signed him to a new deal after a good year.

    Traded a 3rd Comp pick for Jamie Collins, Pro-Bowl LB on the last year of his contract basically to have first rights to sign him. Resigned him.

    Now the move back from 4th the 6th round this year to swallow a huge contract and gain a 2nd round pick in 2018.

    You don't see other teams in the NFL make these kinds of trades. This is amazing, innovative stuff in the NFL.

  • So we just paid $16 million for a 2nd round pick.

    I don't know if that's a good deal or not.

    He was in the wrong offense in Houston.

    He was also one of the most inaccurate passers ever to get paid that much.

    Let's not forget:

    4th rounder for a 35 year old punter, replaced him with younger one off the street and re-signed to long-term deal.

    5th rounder for special teams "player" Bark Mingo who is now a FA.

    6th rounder from division rival Steelers for bust Justin Gilbert, who they could not cut fast enough after the season.

    Questions?
