I agree. Potentially, flipping Osweiler for another pick. The Nerds are geniuses!!

Actually I feel that if you're unhappy with the way they treated the Schwartz deal, this deal may make you happy. I'm not really disappointed with the deal depending on how it all shakes out. Now if they decide to put their eggs in the Brock basket, I'll be pizzed off. If it's a leverage deal and they find a way to trade Brock off, I'll be more excited about it.

But I think you have to admit, those who made excuses for not re-signing Schwartz because of cap money, surely shouldn't be two faced and support this. They can't have it both ways Bud.

It doesn't matter. We still would be on the hook for the same amount.

Something interesting here. We could actually try to trade him to other teams by discounting his contract now. We could tell a team that we'll pay $5 mil of that $17 mil so a QB needy team could try him out for the year at $12 mil. Would that be worth it for a team like the Jets?

As long as Brock gets his $17 mil, he'd be willing to restructure. He'd get less than that on the open market.

Edit***
Uggh. I should have known the FO was way ahead of me about the contract. I hadn't yet read the La Cornholio rumor when I posted this.

I don't know what analytics says about this,but this old poker player says it is a very shrewd move by the Browns.
16 mil is the going rate for avg starters.

One thing to think about is Brock is cheaper than franchising Jimmy G. for 2 years for a NE trade. If we sent Brock, ate his cap hit, and sent them picks for Jimmy G. then that would rock the entire NFL.

I wouldn't care either if I were you. It's always great when people can talk out both sides of their mouth and nobody ever calls them on it. lmao

Those who did that were idiots.......we should have resigned Schwartz. However, this is a great deal entirely independent of the Schwartz fiasco.

Your backing yourself into a bad argument man, because morons from last year were stupid

Don't take this as fact, but someone on facebook is saying that we got Brock and his contract and a 2nd rounder (not sure what year) and we gave up a 4th this year. Again, that was a guy who said he was a denver fan and said that Brock O was very slow to release the ball.

Elway sure cried like a baby when he beat feet to Houston.. I guess we'll see.

Does he have offset in his contract?
If we cut him somebody pays him 3 mil we would be on hook for 13 right?

Like, he literally doesn't understand. He didn't know teams could make trades. He then muttered, "Randy Moss is not a Hall of Famer. . ."

A little late to the party, bro!

Yanno.. I'd trade away Osw for a 4th. Get that pick back.

This might be my favorite post of all time.

The #Browns are seriously getting calls about Brock Osweiler.

Seriously.



If I'm dreaming nobody better friggin wake me up

Not if it's one of the compensatory 4th round picks.

It was the 36th pick in the fourth round. Try again.

I can't see how anyone can be anything less than pleased at this trade but that's just me. We utilise cap space for a pick. Cap space we weren't going to spend. Unless we offered Pryor a 1 year 45m deal.

Herm Edwards seems literally offended by the idea of trying to get draft picks.

Why are these the two guys they have on to talk about this?!?!

(I am not watching. It just doesn't make sense.)

There's a round table.

I watched a clip earlier.

Bunch of people waiting around for Schefters phone to buzz.

So can I be the first to say that I would absolutely die from laughter if Houston now signs Pryor due to the cap space we just freed up for them. Not that I want TP gone but Mac's reaction would literally be priceless...

Dude. Keep me updated.

This is one of the BEST moves this team has made in 30 years.

People. STOP trying to figure Cap hits. Osweiler will never see Berea.

O Captain! My Captain! Some things never change.

The Browns are certainly making this interesting.

I just have to say, the Texans must really not like Brock Osweiler.

The best part is?

They are post likely replacing him with Tony Romo.

Hilarious.

It doesn't sound like the plan entails keeping him, so I wouldn't put a lot of thought into that yet.

I don't see why everyone is so sure Brock is a bum. Yes, he played poorly last year but he played pretty solid the year before..... If we can't trade him then I'd keep him and see if his play can improve. Nothing to lose.

Normal.

Which makes their gargantuan offer last offseason seem soooooooo....gargantuan?

I think it just shows. No-one knows if a QB is "it". Bill lucked into Brady IMHO. He's a great coach, GM, but I think you need luck to get a QB. They are rarer than a good Browns offseason....our luck is changing...

The off-season and draft days are the best days to be Browns fans!

Also, leading the league in cap space won't get us anywhere!

Seriously, the more I think about this move the better it is.

I was hoping the Browns would do this move with Romo and the Cowboys, but this is much better.

If somehow we can get San Fran to gives us their 1st this year for Brock, we can take Garret, trade down, pick up Adams, and then ensure we get Trubisky.

I just woke up.

We deserve some luck, fortune. I'm smiling like it's sunny

EDIT: I am obviously kidding above .....

As far as the Pryor thing. Do you REALLY want to pay him 14-15 million after ONE year at WR? Pryor wanted big money. They made him an offer and the door is still open. But if we are going to sign a WR for huge bucks then I wouldn't sign Pryor I'd sign Alshon Jeffery if possible.

Jeffery signed with the Eagles. One year, $14 million (I think).

A Texans 2018 2nd rounder isn't chicken feed either. Plus another late rounder this year. And wait that's not all. This deal has more legs. Just a hunch.

Ah I didn't see that. Oh well. Still I'd offer Pryor a nice contract but I wouldn't give him top WR money. He's a really solid #2 he's not worth top money. 6-8 million per, yes. 10+ hell no.
