Browns trade Shelton to Patriots

[luuked]

There you go.. this is value..

Hey @Tony2046 is that good enough ?

 

[Snooky97]

Like this. Big Body, could be our DT for about 6 years with Shelton and Brown

 

[Uptown]

In BB we trust! AND he fleeced CLE!

DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!

Browns have a lot going on this week. Hope he works out : talent is there.

Not sure about, his stats in Madden are pretty low...

 

[Joey007]

What’s he done in the NFL so far? Serious question, I haven’t really followed.

I’m optimistic, but cautious, last time we took a former 1st rounder from them it was Mingo. Who did nothing.

Sometimes you just can’t polish a turd, so we’ll see.

Absolute theft. Wow. *Tips cap.

Welcome back 3-3-5. We basically got discount Vita Vea for $2.

[Joey007]

The impression I’m getting is that he was a non factor as a pass rusher.

Don’t love the sound of that

Kony Ealy and Barkevious Mingo were thefts too if I remember right

Wow, this is a really good deal. Nice replacement for Branch. Pats are set inside now. now time to focus on edge rushers, and some speed at LB in FA/Draft.

He is a NT...

True. Although, Mingo was a “tweener.” He was pretty much position-less, as his collegiate skill set didn’t translate to the NFL. With a NT like Shelton, you know EXACTLY what you’re getting. Stop. The. Damn. Run.

...and keep blockers off LBs of course

FWIW, Browns fans on twitter seem disappointed by this trade.

 

[Wozzy]

Amazing trade, the Browns have lost their minds.

They were fringe players who sucked. Shelton is a tier one nose tackle. This is my favorite news of the offseason. Now I don't care that Vea is out of range. So happy right now!

 

[patsinthesnow]

FWIW, PFF had him as the #9 DT 2016 & the #2 NT behind Damon Harrison. Alan Branch was 19th/4th.

Big body NTs rarely are. That's not what he's here for though.

Our best defensive scheme can now be run. This is awesome.

He might be the biggest DT i’ve ever seen...
