Texans Trade Osweiler To Browns

[primetime]

I'm dying with laughter over here. Browns gonna Brown . . .

???

They just picked up a boatload of picks and they have like infinite cap space

 

[Ring 6]

Wait. What did Houston get?

 

[bbobbo]

can cleveland trade osweiler but agree to keep part or all of his contract on their books?

 

[JayNM]

As a draftnik, so jealous. As a fan, less so

I've been saying over and over, this new Browns FO is making some interesting decisions. I couldn't find a link, but they have A **** ton of players in their first contract and they keep pouring down in Draft Ammo.

They got DePodesta (AKA Moneyball guy) as a strategy chief and this guys is genius. I don't know if his work can be translated to the NFL like he did in Baseball, but they are building the scheme and finding pieces for it, not the other way around.

I like this move a lot. If they can find a good QB within the next 3 years and hit in a good quantity of those picks, I'll be extremely impressed

Everyone lies to Michael Lombardi

I bet kenny britt's thrilled to go from goff to ***weiler lol

 

[manxman2601]

Actually a 2 & a 6 for a 4



These Cleveland guys might actually be doing something in Cleveland if they get a QB.

I don't think this is a bad thing for the Browns. They traded cap space that they could never spend and a fourth rounder for a second round pick. That is basically what they did. I don't even think Osweiller will even be on the Browns' roster come the start of the season. Word is they are looking to trade him and eat much of his cap hit.

Cap relief.

Welcome to the NFLBA.

You're dreaming. It's the browns!!!!

 

[manxman2601]

Osweiler must feel like the most rejected man in the world

 

[long distance]

Or is another second what was missing in JG offer?

 

[Ring 6]

Why wouldn't Houston just cut him?

 

[manxman2601]

Wait. What did Houston get?

A 4 this year but gave up a 6 this year and two next year.

Which sucker wants ***weiler? Jests?

 

[JayNM]

You're dreaming. It's the browns!!!!

If the Cubs can break their curse...

Osweiler will never play a down for the Browns. Actually wouldn't surprise me if the Texans trade for Romo and the Browns send Osweiler back to the Broncos, grabbing another pick in exchange for eating part of his salary.

 

[Ring 6]

Cap relief.

Welcome to the NFLBA.

But they would get the same cap relief by cutting him no?

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

This move doesn't make sense for the texans unless they get romo

 

[SaCaCh]

When even the Browns don't want you...you will never play another down in the NFL.
