  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    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

  • This is amazing.

  • Any confirmation that it's a 4th comp pick?

    Alotta confusion out there

    Great post... except Sashi is not "a player evaluator".

    What offense was that?

    The kind that only had 11 players and 4 downs to get a 1st.

  • Fuck.

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

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

    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...

    Wow. Where's BBEd? *THIS* is your 4-d chess buddy.

    NFL Network saying it a comp 4th for a comp 6th. So essentially a 5th for a 7th

    I think a trade up to get Trubisky along with Garrett could be in the cards since Hue loves him another QB apparently. Those two prior love affairs haven't worked out so well. Three's a charm?

  • I'd still prefer Davis Webb but I'm a very small minority in that

  • I bet Sashi fucking owns in madden trades!
