Schefter reports Gilbert traded....

[stillmotion]

Reports say we get a 6th round pick in 2018.

It's better than nothing

[calfoxwc]

they'll ask him all about the Browns' defense...

and they'll cut him...

whatever.

[Orion]

It's great that we're getting something for the guy.

Great job Farmer & Pettine!

"Justin, what do you know?"

"Not a lot."

"Well we see now why they wanted to cut you."

Lol

I thought he was going to start?

So with the trade, that means his salary goes with him, right? Looking at Sportrac, the Steelers are only on the hook for $1.5 million- more than a sixth round pick would get, but not a lot.

I was worried he might too. Figured they might dump Tramon. This is a good sign that they aren't wasting their time on Gilbert.

For a 6th rounder, I might have just made him the return man and saved Coleman

Interesting in-division trade, and with the Stoolers no less....... Strange days indeed.

Oh yea, SEE YA YOU BUST.

[Opal312]

Mingo, Weeden, Richardson, Gilbert, Manziel .......

[Canton Dawg]

The Browns had six 1st round picks between 2011 and 2014.

They are now all gone.

[Canton Dawg]

My disdain for Ray Farmer continues to grow....read'em and weep.

Makes me nauseous seeing it in writing.

[stillmotion]

It's in the past, let's look towards the future.

how many chances did we give gilbert and manziel?

and there's no F$%^ing way Ray Farmer should be giving NFL commentary or his opinion EVER

[miktoxic]

instant pro bowler.

well i guess the browns will just suit up the east cleveland boy's choir and march them out there on sundays. prob more talent there than in the browns locker room.

i know gilbert sucked and was on the verge of getting cut but these guys are a fucking joke.

2 years from now you all will be calling this a bigger fiasco than what holmgren did. and i'll be shaking my head like i did then without having to say i told you so. again.

All of these kids that are having to step in and play right now will be better because of it. While it may be frustrating now, hopefully they get better week by week and then we'll be better because of them.

Gilbert was never going to be on this team in the future and they got a lil' something for him, plus his young replacement (that will be on the team in the future) will get live action experience.

I like it.

[BaconHound]

All Pettine and Oneil's fault, yeah not letting it go!

[miktoxic]

there's no proof from anyone's record (football) in the FO that any of this will work.

football is a different sport than baseball. you don't build by analytics or worrying about the purse string. you actually need first round talent on both sides of the ball.

hope you got another decade and 3 more regimes to see this team recoup anything that'll look like that.

me, my days are #'d and i'm tired of it.

btw, those young players will be replaced next year because of some calculation.

That would imply the they are concerned about our defense.
