Holy crap. It's been reported that the best offer Pryor has right now is the one from the Browns. Do you expect us to bid against ourselves?

what if ... i mean what if ... Brock is our new starter ... i mean what Hue thinks he can fix him ... why is the room getting so dark ... wait there is a light now ... why can't i move towards the light ... NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The #Browns have just traded for Brock Osweiler, sources say (as @AdamSchefter reported). He goes from the #Texans with a 2018 2nd rounder.

From what I understand, the #Browns are weighing simply releasing Brock Osweiler after trading for him. NBA style

I remember a weird fact on Osweiler...when he came to Arizona St. he came for basketball as a PG/SG...watching him play I've never seen it lol But a big big body for the AFC North...and a cannon...needs alot of improvement though (footwork, short to mild accuracy, and does throw those stupid McCown picks)

All Terrell Pryor has to do is sign to get the best offer he has received so far...Terrell Pryor is holding up his own deal.

Yeah, paying all those millions for a second round draft pick makes perfect sense! LMAO

wow, that's crazy

j/c:

I really have no idea what to say. mac is talking about Pryor and most of the rest are saying how clever we are. Meanwhile, my head is swimming.

Oh my goodness..........I just don't know what to say. I am still trying to pick my chin off of the floor.

What would you rather them do just sit on 17 million of unused cap space or get a 2nd rounder for it???? We don't owe him anything cap wise past this year.......you know a lot about football Pitt, but you are bad wrong on this one.

There is literally no downside for the Browns on this one......unless they play him haha.

I think Mac is secretly Drew Rosenhaus

I love this move. Sabermetrics at its finest.

3 second round picks in 2018 could end up landing us either a lot of talent or be packaged well to move up in the draft. That is a lot of draft capital.

What difference does it make?

We had over $100 million in cap space. We can't use it all to sign players we want. So we, essentially, bought a 2nd rounder. If ownership doesn't mind spending, what difference does it make to us?

We gave up a 4 to get Osw, a 2 next year and a 6 this year.

Pay attn: CUT Osw, absorb the cap hit.. KEEP the 2 and the 6

mac can't say the FO is cheap!

lol. Turn on 92.3 the fan if you're in Cleveland. All Cleveland sports.

Holy crap. That is a brilliant move. We just bought a second round pick.

I love this front office.

I really don't see BO ever playing a snap for the Browns. I think they'll immediately try to trade him...for something...anything...even if it's for a mid round pick. So essentially, they just got a 2nd rnd pick for nothing.

I think this move is FANTASTIC.

If they keep him? Well, couldn't be worse than what we've seen lately.

Yep its not like we're going to max our cap this year anyways and this is the only year it would affect us

This is leftfield thinking. It's frankly brilliant. If Hue can make BO work, then great but we can cut him right now and still have more cap space than we know what to do with. Bar signing Pryor obviously....despite having the best offer out there for him, allegedly.

We traded $$$ for a pick. A good pick.

EDIT: I've said this in another thread - we've been active in FA as we don't have many FAs ourselves so we dont really lose any comp picks. Maybe that is not that much of a consideration, but I still believe, now that I've digested what we've done, it is to eke out the advantages where we can. I don't think I've been as happy as a Browns fan in recent memory.

so we cut Osweiler already? damn savages lol

If we just release him, virtually just buying a 2nd rounder - then it's quite frankly brilliant.

Where did Pryor sign?

Good gawd mac, give it a rest. They FO just made a brilliant use of cap space for basically a free 2nd rounder, and you're whining about them not throwing stupid money at Pryor just to sign him immediately at any cost. Could you maybe let that play out a bit?

The only way the Browns can screw this up is to play him....lol. I love this move.

How much do you think a second round pick is worth? A good player picked in the second round is worth much more than the money we gave up.

Yup!
If the CAVS pulled this move, people would be lauding them for creating something out of nothing.

We spent money that would otherwise just be sitting there and got a 2nd rounder for next year and the Texans even threw in a backup QB.

Probably will use that 2nd rounder with added picks to move up in next years draft for a QB?

Any chance that the Pats would take Osweiler plus the Tenn 2nd this year and the Texan's 2nd next year for Jimmy? He'd essentially be free for the Pats for 1 year since we'd have to eat his salary.

If we cut him, we paid $17 mil for a 2nd round pick.
If we keep Brock and cut RG3 we paid $8.5 mil.

Browns exec to @MikeGarafolo on Osweiler: 'Don't assume this guy is our franchise QB. In fact, we're not so sure about his future (in CLE).'

I don't think Osweiler ever sets foot in Berea, let alone plays for us.

Yes, and no.
If you think narrowly only in terms of salary, perhaps you're right..... but, if that 2nd round pick was a good player for another team, would you pay $16 million to acquire that player?

All they have to do is make a solid pick, and for the low, low price of $16M, you've purchased a quality player you otherwise had no shot at whatsoever. Additionally, you also got a 6th rounder and they threw in a backup QB!

That would be a very interesting scenario.
