  • 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.....

    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...

    .

    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.

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

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

  • 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.

    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?

  • Would love to know how some think this is a move to get JG...

    You think the pats would take a 2018 2nd with or without Bo and serve up JG??

    I'm thinking if we cut him were gambling on one of the qb needy teams above us at 12 takes him leaving us to get MT if that's the guy.

    I'm in the cut RG3 and take the half hit camp, give him a year and see if he just had an off year last.

    Would be typical browns if we cut BO and he signs for someone and makes the Pro bowl taking whoever to the playoffs.

    Depends on what we do with the pick.

    We've pretty much got the market on backup QB's cornered.

  • I think these games on ESPN or a little dense they had a 15 minute discussion about the Brock white or trade and not once did he mention the fact that it may have been a set up to trade for the Rapalo voice activated misspellings occur to me

    Not really.

    His contract has offset language, so if we cut him and another team signs him, we are only on the hook for a portion of that $16 million. If we trade him, we are on the hook for none of it.

    The only way we paid $16 million is if he stays on the roster. The only way he stays on the roster is if we believe he's a franchise QB who just was in a bad fit in Houston. So then we're really paying $16 million for a franchise QB with experience.

  • Well he's better than RG3 at least there's that AND we have the ammo to trade up for Trubisky after taking Garrett. No loss in this at all.... What a good day from the browns AND we should atleast keep in mind that even though it is a longshot what if he actually is good here?

    Well now, if we can somehow magic a third round pick for Osweiler - by eating a load of his contract and not violating any league rules about paying for picks at the same time - and put that together with the second we just got next year, and maybe a day two and day three pick, and somehow get Jimmy G...
