It's okay to throw away 16 million in cash and cap room for a 2nd round pick. Only a team so shitty as the Browns could do this and be called brilliant. They are literally taking on dead cap debt so they can reach the minimum. Their talent is so depleted that they don't have any good players to extend to eat up some of that cap. It's a horrific scenario. At least keep the piece of shit on the roster as a backup, or start him so that your team is shittier and you get better draft picks next season. |

I guess it depends on how it shakes out as to whether Cleveland got hosed or not. It's been speculated that they intend to trade him. But at this point, who'd want the guy? Talk about damaged goods.
Granted, I don't pay much attention to Houston, but Osweiler must have some serious issues beyond a shitty single season for them to dump a second just to be rid of him. Sounds like the football equivalent of Coyote Ugly. |

Great read by Bill Barnwell breaking down this deal.
Browns currently have 8 picks in the first two rounds of the next two drafts. Quote:

When your team looks like one Pioli built having a shitload of draft picks is a good thing. If they draft well they're going to be loaded in a few years. I hope they succeed, it would be awesome to see the rest of the league trying to copy the Cleveland Browns. |

Great move by Houston to get out of the contract early. Brock is prob better than anyone cleve has put behind center for a while. I wish we had traded with Cleveland smith would be perfect for them. Smith would be a hero there if he brought them to 9-7.

I'm with the idea that all this has to do with a trade with the Pats for Jimmy Garoppolo: https://www.boston.com/sports/new-en...immy-garoppolo

If the Browns give the Pats ammo in the draft for a nobody, with no experience that went to a shit college and was barely drafted in the second round then nothing has changed in Browns country.
Outside of the massive luck that was the Brady pick what QB has Bill picked that went on to be any good at all? Hoyer sucks. Mallet sucks. Cassel sucks. The Browns are out of their effing minds to throw away high draft picks and dole out big bucks to Jimmy. Does everyone not think the Bears look like idiots for Glennon? What is the difference?

It does matter. Because if they get no value from assweiller as a contributing player, it means they are paying a ridiculous price to get a 2nd round draft pick.

I know some guys on the Chiefs Board are concerned about Houston stepping in front of them to draft MaHomes in the first round, but as talented as the Texas Tech QB is he's also the kinda QB O'Brien tends to avoid because he doesn't like the gun-slinger types running his offenses for him. Somebody might indeed beat the Chiefs to MaHomes in the first but I doubt it's Houston. |

The Browns weren't going to be able to logically use up enough space to hit the salary floor over one year, or multiple years. They were going to be penalized in result which would help out rival squads. Getting a 2nd round choice is better than jack shit. |
