slats Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yes, the Osweiler deal is indeed a cautionary tale when talking about signing Mike Glennon to a $15M/year deal. It's true, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Serious Question: Are there any NFL teams needing a quarterback that could grab Mitch Trubisky before he falls to us at 6? Aren't we about to get any QB we want? Methinks so. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great move by the Browns. They get an extra 2nd round pick and with their 100M in cap space, can hold this contract no problem. Will be even better if they can flip him for a 3rd or so.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yowzer. That's a great trade for Cleveland and actually a pretty good trade for Houston to unload that contract. At least they are smart enough to acknowledge a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is the full post from Schefter. NFL stunner: Texans trade QB Brock Osweiler AND a 2018 second-round pick to Cleveland for the Browns to take Osweiler’s $16M salary of Houston’s books, per league sources. The move clears out millions in salary-cap space for Houston to intensify efforts to sign former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, per sources. To be exact, Houston saves $16 million in cash and $10 million against their cap this season. The Texans also will get the Browns’ fourth-round pick this year in exchange for their own 6th-round pick. So Cleveland gets Osweiler’s contract, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick, and Houston gets Cleveland’s 2017 fourth-round pick, saves $10 million in salary-cap space and $16 million in cash. Cleveland is not committed to keeping Osweiler and is likely to try to trade him, per sources. If so, it would turn into a basketball-like trade in which NBA teams routinely trade contracts to get them off their books; only it rarely, if ever, happens in the NFL. It’s hard to remember in the salary-cap era another team when a team traded a contract to get it off its books. But Houston was so anxious to rid itself of Osweiler and move on to its next quarterbacking chapter that it is giving Cleveland extra picks to take him and his contract. The Browns headed into this free-agent signing period with over $100 million worth of salary-cap space and would struggle to spend it all. Now they can devote some of it to Osweiler’s contract and acquiring extra draft picks from Houston. But this is one of the most, if not the most, creative trade in NFL history.

jmat321 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just read the browns may move osweiler. They have too much space and can't spend it all. They get houstons picks, have some of osweiler's contract on their books for the season and are looking to to trade him for more picks??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns have a ton of cap space that they weren't going to use anyway. They get a free 2nd round pick which is INSANELY valuable. This is one of the Browns best move in years.

smaxor5 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Amazing use of cap space for the browns. They just bought a 2nd Round pick in a deep draft with cap space they weren't going to be able to use. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 How does the Texans GM survive this? First he gives an unproven QB that kind of money, then has to piss away a second round pick to get rid of him a year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
