    oh geez....

  • The truth is, the Patriots play different defenses, but they don't have a big NT once Alan Branch

     retires/leaves - he's 33. All their other dlinemen are 315/300. Adding Shelton to the mix will help them

    avoid another super bowl, where they faced an excellent defense, and they gave up about 150 yards rushing

    at the worst times. That third round pick can get the Browns a very good player that fits.

    I admire Danny Shelton - but he can shine as a NT for the Patriots. Good luck to him.

    Cal, get out of here with that reasonable response. We either rage or love roster changes around here.

    Yeah, you can't fall in love with a particular player (with maybe the exception of Joe Thomas) Bill B doesn't. Let's face it, for where he was drafted Shelton under performed at least a little. Haloti Ngata he isn't.

    he's not a 4-3 guy plan and simple he played less than 50% of plays last year infact the exact # was 44% so i really do not understand why some people here are flipping out they make it sound like Shelton was headed for a yellow jacket

  • not sure what 5th we lost? we own 2.(packers #150) or are own at #159?  this trade maybe the one Dorsey did not want to bring a black cloud into yesterdays sunny day..But sounds like May 2nd extention was not going to happen..did we know he was on trade block to Denver last season?    https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2018/3/10/17104362/browns-trading-dt-danny-shelton-to-the-patriots  

  • Was Shelton THAT bad that THIS is the best we could do for him?

  • Apparently so

    Depo still sits in the same hot seat..I'd say they knew his value in & out the door.. 

  • Shelton was a slow fat butt who really never did anything great.  No loss.

    Next time your selling something that has value let me know, ill be sure to offer ya 10% of the asking price if you like giving stuff away.

    If Danny was so bad, why did Billy want him. This reminds me of Sheard. 

    Guess I'll just trust Dorsey more than those of us internet GMs crying here........ 

    Time will tell.

    Maybe so..... but your condescending attitude will last a lifetime.  

  • All I can say is......

    "Well there goes ANOTHER jersey!". Shelton's is his original Browns' #71, which was changed to #55 when Mack left. Danny then signed it for me with his new #55 & he wrote "Throwback" on it.

    1) I'm not buying another until they change 'em in 2020 unless I can get a vintage Clay Matthews Jr #57 for a decent price.

    2) From now on, no more buying current players jerseys.

    Why can the Browns trade Danny Shelton? The draft pick that “football guy” Ray Farmer took? Because Sashi nailed the Larry Ogunjobi pick in Round 3.

  • I have a feeling Ogbah puts on weight and they draft Chubb at #4 

    they love Ogunjobi too

    And I'm thinking Chubb @ #1 because he will be gone by #4.

    Yeah, might as well wait until 2020 to get a new Browns jersey... that's the season the Browns are changing their uniforms again.

    Sigh...

    I'm so tired of the "Moneyball Analytics Guys" vs "Football Guys" talk from Browns fans. (Nothing against you specifically Canton Dawg, just a general thought)

    I just want someone to come into the Browns front office and turn this team around. I don't care if that person is a lesbian ex-hockey playing lawyer who is the distant relative of Paul Brown and George Halas who majored in art history at the University of Michigan.

    That's the plan. 😁

  • From what I can gather, this was a Greg Williams thing. Shelton strictly played the run with no pass rush and although very good, in Williams schemes, he wants his DTs to be able to rush the passer. I guess they like LO and Brantley enough to let him go. Even though Shelton is on the cheap this year ($2 million), I think his fifth year option if exercised jumps to $12 million or so. I don't love the trade, but who knows. I kind of get the feeling that Dorsey feels as though he has too many draft picks this year and just wants to get rid of them.
