It never ends.
Myles contract has been restructured. Now there is speculation that once again he will get traded.
No matter that his contract was extended and he agreed.
The media keeps beating this drum. The Crosby to Ravens deal fell through. Now talk about Dallas.
Once again the Parsons deal is brought up and Myles is compared to that deal and what the Browns could expect to get for him.
We have had Myles and have not won. I get that.
But you don't dramatically weaken the defense and expect to get better. IMO you build the team by making smart decisions.
I do not see the Browns trading Myles.

Normally you build around your best players not trade them away unless you are undergoing a rebuild. But sometimes you get characters that think they're the smartest guys in the room and things go sideways.

It becomes a game.
Win games now or hope you win big because you made the right decisions down the line.
If they were going to trade him. They should have done it before they signed a new deal.

I believe that we’re keeping Myles and also believe we should.

We aren't trading Myles. This is what Berry does with long term contracts. They write it one way, it makes the player the highest paid at his position, but now they changed the wording so that Myles gets more money up front, yet the salary cap is lightened these first (3) years. Once the salary cap rises over the next three seasons, they can extend him, take a hit in the 4th year, as well as backloading again on the next deal.
Everyone that screams about how terrible Haslem is.. Haslem is the reason Berry can do this. Every time they make one of these contract restructures, cash has to go into escrow to cover it. The team spends the same amount, the player in many cases gets their money earlier, but the cap is spread out and sometimes reduced. You have to have a lot of free cash as an owner to be able to do this. It's why there aren't 31 other teams doing it exactly the same way.

If there is any constant with this team, it is that Browns fans will always talk about trading away their most valuable player(s).
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

The media has to create content.
He is not going anywhere.
We still have to find a solution at quarterback. We had a HOF LT. We have a HOF DE. They were not enough.
Maybe it is Shedeur? We will find out because he is getting his shot.

The issue with Haslam has never been questioning him spending the money to build a winning franchise. He has certainly been willing to do that. It's been a question about who he has put in charge of spending it.
