The # Browns are expected to move on from Robert Griffin III. The Brock Osweiler acquisition should clear the way for that

They got a free 2nd round pick for taking a contract that they didn't want. They actually bought a 2nd rounder, and have made it known that BO isn't part of the long term plans.

They have the cap space how is anyone complaining about this???

What do you think Vers? In favor or not?

Good thing you opened a 4th thread on the topic.

bahahahaha Vers I'm dying with that Joaquin Phoenix vid from signs lol

already a thread going on this

we landed on the moon!

I wonder if Denver would want him back for another #2?

We are evidently adding a 2017 4th to the Texans, and getting back a 2017 6th rounder back as well. (and I am sure the 4th will be a compensatory pick, so almost a 5th rounder)

No, if I read it right, we eat the $16 million in guarantees for this year, and the next 2 years are non guaranteed.

Lemme check on that.

Yep. Per rotowold:

NFL | Salary Dump: Texans send Osweiler to Browns - Rotoworld.com
http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/355609/salary-dump-texans-send-osweiler-to-browns?ls=roto:NFL:topheadlines

Browns acquired Brock Osweiler, a 2018 second-round pick, and a 2017 sixth-round pick from the Texans in exchange for a 2017 fourth-round pick.
This is a straight salary dump the likes of which we normally only see in the NBA. Essentially, the Texans sent a second-round pick to Cleveland in order to get the Browns to take Osweiler's bloated deal off their hands. With zero cap concerns, the Browns can pay Osweiler the rest of the guaranteed money ($16 million) on his contract, give him a shot to win the starting job, and cut him next offseason with no financial ramifications if (when) it does not work out. With Osweiler off the books, the Texans look set to make a real run at Tony Romo.

Looks like Romo is a Texan btw.

So if we move on from RG3 and re sign pryor, we're definitely going defense with the first 2 picks.

...Didn't see that one coming. We had the cap space. Got a 2nd rounder. Brock's not great, but he could look decent in Hue's offense if our new Line pans out.

First reaction was ick. Second was, wait a minute, this is kind of great. More Ammo next year and didn't give anything up but cap space. Is it really a trade though? Did we give them anything?

I think they are stock piling picks for a Garropolo trade...........I really believe they are.

I think we are all stunned lol but hey we basically robbed them...all of our QBs are injured game in and game out...We will need Brock's body...has a huge arm, however not much else...but we will offer him O-line protection and hopefully add some weapons to whomever is playing our QB spot.

thanks ytown ... like the deal

Jesus Christ.

I don't think one has anything to do with the other (Brock coming and RG3 going).

To sign Who????

We give them a 4th. (probably a comp pick( We get back Brock, a 2017 6th rounder, and a 2018 2nd rounder. Not quite as good as originally reported, but still very good.

Would we be able to sign Polo to an extension still? Im sure we still have money.

It's times like this I'm glad I'm still not working.

So, this could be a 0 or 1 year 16m deal, 2 year 34m deal, or 3 year 51m deal. Plus we a 2nd rounder in 2018 and a 6th rounder in 2017. All of this for a 4th rounder?

Good use of the cap.

Worst case, we paid 16m and a 4th rounder for a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder.
Best case, we get a starting QB, 2nd rounder, and 6th rounder for a 4th rounder.
Most likely case is a 1 year rental for 16mnd a 4th rounder for a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder

Cutting RG3 does pay for half of BO's money this year. I think BO stays as the backup, and is cut next year. Basically a free 2nd round pick.


What planet am I living on where the Browns are doing smart things???

I'm not working either, but I'm at work...

RG3 is gone, half his money pays for brock, we get a 2nd round pick ... and can trade that for either Jimmy G, or wait for Darnold

There was rumor talk, only by a few in the media, that the Browns would trade for Brock just to eat his salary next season. We'd get their first or second and they'd walk away from the contract since we have so much cap space. Essentially, we'd be buying a pick off of them. Not sure if we'd play him, but it would save the Texans from having him walking the sidelines in an obvious awkward situation.

Those are the best kind of jobs to have.

And all of BO's cap cut hit comes this year.......so it doesn't affect long term cap situation.

My goodness the Browns aren't doing Browns things today at least...lol.

Whoa! We're loading up here!

This is all about the 2nd round pick folks.....browns now have 5 second round picks the next two years and 8 picks in first 2rds.

Jimmy G come on down!!!!!


I will bet we give the Pats a lot of these picks and get this done.

Oh, I'm going to pay for it later (probably have to come in Saturday and Sunday, or at least open up the laptop at home), but today is just too much to ignore.

They are not planning on keeping him, Brock, this is an NBA trade so we give up the four and take on his contract. Now We will try to trade him very savy move. They are not done Pryor may still get signed

we are leveraging our best asset: the cap

We could sent 3 2nd round picks in the next 2 years to the Pats for Garropolo, and still have 2 2nd rounders left.

Not necessarily advocating that, just saying ....

haha

I don't think jeffery wants to come here..you said best right?
