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.

Time will tell.

Time will tell that that attitude from you will last about 6 games.

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.

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.

A nothing trade (just to do something) just like Kizer for Randall... I would rather have Kizer.

The Cysko Kid

I don't care about Danny Shelton

boo fagley

Just because Shelton cost a 1st round pick does not mean that he was worth a 1st round pick.

If you were a GM would you give the Browns a 2nd for Kizer? Hell no.

If you recall, shelton didn't like the browns parade and complained a bit. He said both these things.

Can’t wait for things to start rolling the right way for the Browns. Funny how these “fans” will be the ones that say “I am a die hard Browns fan” but fans don’t disrespect their home team. I know we still have some faithful fans out there, things will get better!

@Danny_Shelton55

There are players on this team who want to play and win for the Browns and The Land. Parading around isn’t encouraging a change, it’s more so encouraging players to avoid the opportunity to play here. 1-31 isn’t what we want to be known for but we won’t stop fighting to win here.

- my thoughts are chances are that Shelton wasn't feeling the Browns anymore. Maybe Greg Williams didn't like him much, or Dorsey didn't think he was a "real player", but I think it was a combination of both. Also, maybe Danny had bad work ethic and a toxic attitude. That's obviously not a fact, but it can't be disproven either. Our trade to the pats was a Jamie Collins-esque trade, as we thought he'd for sure leave after next year.

another theory is that Jimmy traded him to save money and free up more cap room. but I believe the answer is a combination of both theories.
