Hael Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Really interesting trade that makes great sense for both teams. Yes, it does paint a picture of just how bad a single decision can cost you when u look at opportunity cost, cap space etc. imo everything Cleveland has been doing in the past year or so, has been top notch. They're building the proper way, accumulating young talent, and draft picks and not repeating the stupid mistakes of their past by splurging on expensive free agents.

No.. the Browns took that contract and RECEIVED, not gave up, Houston's 2nd and 6th round picks. Thy also gave up a 4th to Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMan77 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 2 minutes ago, Charlie Brown said: The Brown are in a far better position for the future than the Jets and IMO it and isn't even close. So Jets fans can laugh all they want to but the last laugh is unfortunately on us. Maybe!... But they still need to turn those picks into something... I think we know that having a lot of picks doesn't equal success... They did the planning part of this really well so far, but they still need to execute on the back end.

UnknownJetFan Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well, Mac being from the Texans, it's good A$$wiler wasn't there while Mac was or Texans would have probably got a good deal from the Jets like Richardson, Hack, and this years 2nd round pick. I shouldn't make fun of Mac since I feel he has done pretty well outside of his QB moves, but since that is the most important posistion in football he is running out of chances there. 1 or 2 more goofball QB moves that don't workout and have bad repricussions like wasting years, $, draft picks, etc. is going to get our flyboys to get to work on the new run him out of town banner.

They did this to eat up cap space they didn't want to spend and got a 2nd round draft pick as a bonus. It was a financial transaction, they don't want the player. SAR I So they're going to cut him?

Browns received a 2nd round pick. They had a sh*t ton of salary cap space. They essentially purchased a 2nd round pick for $16mil. They had like over a 104 mil in space. Still have close to $90 mil space, and an extra second round. Why are they the worst franchise? They can release Brock next year for no more cap hit.

RoadFan Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Osweiler is a stiff. The Browns probably think it too. But the Browns can take the salary, add another premium pick, and continue to build their team... I believe in the Browns' plan. Again, execution is the question.

The cap hit for Osweiller is meaningless to them because they have a ton of cap space they won't be able to use this year. Moreover, the Browns need to spend money anyway to meet the salary floor. Great move on their part. Browns control the next couple of drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I have been saying for months. The Browns are way, way ahead of the Jets right now. They will be playing 8-8 ball in 2018. And playoff contenders in 2019.

Rangers9 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If Osweiler is a free agent then it's worth looking into. Not as a red shirt but as our starter. But I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back in Denver. And maybe we get Simien. Not sure why the Browns wouldn't keep him since the are paying for him.
