That’s not surprising ... good luck Duke

I think (and hope) he is going to do really well in Texas. He was never used properly here, IMO.

The Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans have agreed to the following trade:

Browns receive:

2020 undisclosed draft pick

Texans receive:

RB Duke Johnson Jr.

The Browns currently own their own picks in rounds 1-7 of the 2020 draft. Cleveland also has Arizona’s sixth-round pick (DB Jamar Taylor trade) and Buffalo’s seventh-round pick (WR Corey Coleman trade).

Johnson joined the Browns as a third-round pick in 2015. He appeared in 64 games with 10 starts. He registered 1,286 rushing yards and 2,170 receiving yards on 235 receptions with 13 total touchdowns.

DARN IT!!!

Hope the undisclosed pick is at least a 5th ... i’d be shocked if its not lower unless its conditional and we hav a shot to get it to a 5th based off what Duke does for them ..

Oh well ... he don’t wear brown and orange no more ..

GOOD LUCK DUKE ... i’m Gonna miss u ...

Sad to see him go but the writing was on the wall. Good luck Duke... except when we see you on the field against our Browns.

And to think people said we would get nothing for him and that is contract was a problem.

If that report is accurate it's more than I thought we would get for him.

4th, maybe 3rd, in 2020 sounds pretty good.

That, I think, is as fair as we could've expected.

Good luck, Duke

Also sort of glad we don't play the Texans this year.

This is about what I expected. I said the goal was a 3rd and no way, no how, do I trade him for worse than a 4th. Really didn't expect someone to "pony up" this soon though.

WOOOOHOOOOO ...

KJ waited and man did it ever work out ...

WOOOOHOOOOOOO ... i can't believe it ...

The frickin bears got a 6th for Howard ...

KJ WORKS MAGIC ...

Sad to see him go but if the reports are right we got a decent return.

It will be interesting to see the "condition" that results in this becoming a 3rd.

It seems a decent deal. I wonder what the escalators are. I also wonder who we're carrying until Hunt is available.

Thats the first thing i thought ... with their RB’s unless their stupid unrealistic he should be able to reach them ...

He could end up with 10 - 12 touches a game if he can stay healthy ...

I hate to see Duke Johnson go because he’s a great character guy and a very good player but the writing was on the wall as soon as we signed Kareem Hunt.

Now we just have to hope Chubb stays healthy until week 8.

Golden opportunity for Hilliard.

Agreed. I would have preferred to keep him even with Hunt and Chubb on the roster (because I don't expect both of them here together long-term) buthe wanted out and that was abundantly clear. I hope he get's used more in Houston...for Duke's sake.

Wow! That's a strong trade. I hope it works out for him.

He'll be a good compliment to Lamar Miller. Miller in the last year of his deal so it's also leverage, going forward, if Duke works out and shoulders part of the load.

Sad to see Duke go. Really liked him.

Who is KJ?

Would have to believe its King John

Sad to see Duke go. Always liked him.. Never really saw anything wrong with him other than we never found a way to truly use him right.

Oh,,, Ok

I never said we would get nothing for him, but did not think we could expect much. I thought we'd do better getting a player in return.

Based on what the Bears got for Howard, and the fact that Duke has never been a feature back, and the fact he is pretty highly paid for his utilization, I think that a 4th, potentially a 3rd, is quite a haul.

A 4th that could become a 3rd?

Dorsey better watch out that he isn't indicted for theft.

I thought we would get a 6th that could become a 5th.
Nice negotiating by KJ

Just saw that. That's about the best scenario we could ask for. No performance condition, just based on availability alone. Stay healthy Duke!

j/c:

Go get em Duke, bring us that 3rd RP.

and praying the Texans fail to make the playoffs; maybe even find a way to last in their division

Let's hope the Texans stay healthy and aren't out of playoff contention by week 9. How does their early schedule look?

Seems pretty easily attainable on the surface.

Brutal. They have the 4th toughest schedule in the league and its first-half heavy...

Saints
Jags
Chargers
Panthers
Falcons
Chiefs
Colts
Raiders

Not sure I understand your post though, the worst they finish - the higher our pick.
