Osweiler LOL

Besides getting stuck with the 16 million owed to Osweiler,the Browns made out pretty well.They got the Texans 2rd and 6th rounder while only giving up their 4th.

It was basically a salary dump move for the Texans. The Browns had room to take on the salary -- but why? $16 million, to get a second round pick?

Guess there's a reason the Browns are the Browns.

They have over $100M in cap space this year (and seemingly only interior o-linemen want to play there), so they can fit in his bloated 2017 salary under their cap this year without any problem. Then they can cut him after the season with only a minor dead money hit for 2018. And they get a nice 2nd round pick next year for their troubles. It's actually somewhat of a shrewd use of their massive cap room right now, since they aren't going to find too many elite players who are willing to play in Cleveland in 2017, so a lot of that cap room was going to go unused anyway.

After looking at it doesn't make much sense.I get they want a body at QB to hold down the fort till the QB they draft is ready,but they could have gotten someone just as bad lol as Osweiler for alot cheaper plus the 2nd rounder they got isnt until 2018

Texans had to give the Browns a 2nd rounder to take Osweiler. In this years draft, that's a good pick!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like they hired Sam Hinkie as their GM.

Colts signed John Simon to a 3-year deal. He's one I'd hoped the Steelers could get, but I'm sure they figured the price tag of around $4.5M per was too steep. Oh, well, guess I'm going to have to revise my sig.

see my post in another thread... Cleveland GM is playing 'Moneyball' in building the team... and it just may work.

He has to hit on those picks first. Starting with a real QB. LOL

With that many picks, even an amateur like me could put together a decent team. LOL.

Captain Munnerlyn, identified by some as a possible Steelers' target to play slot CB, just signed with the Panthers.
