YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 @adamschefter Stunner: Texans trade Brock Osweiler AND 2018 2nd-rd pick to CLEV for Browns to take Osweiler contract off Houston books, sources tell ESPN.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Â @salsports I was told at the combine Bill O'Brien basically hates Brock Osweiler and they just wanted him gone. Guess that was right. Wow.
May Day 10 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 basically got a 2nd round pick to eat a contract and get closer to the cap floor while they rebuild from the ground up. Smart.
CommonCents Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Cleveland again proves they have no clue What do you mean? They took the contact and got a 2nd round pick. They have a ton of money to spend and can cut Brock after the season. They basically bought a 2nd round pick.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Per Schefter's FB  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.
QB Bills Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 What are you people talking about? That's a great move by the Browns. They basically got a second round pick for nothing. They have tonnes of cap space.
Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Cleveland again proves they have no clue   They burnt $16 mil of cap room to turn a 4th into a 2nd. They weren't likely to use the cap room anyway as there simply isn't enough guys on the market to sign. It's an expensive move, but not exactly clueless.

They basically bought a 2nd round pick. Â This. It is very intelligent, and I wish the Bills were thinking like this and rebuilding this way as opposed to chasing 8-8
HaZe716 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I'll bet HOU is going to take a run at Romo now. Makes too much sense for them

Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Â This. It is very intelligent, and I wish the Bills were thinking like this and rebuilding this way as opposed to chasing 8-8 Â Â Hey! We are chasing a lucky 9-7 or 10-6 that sneaks into the playoffs!
BigBuff423 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I presume this would be so Texans can get and afford Romo
BuffAlone Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Wow! Romo to Houston then? And Watson AND Trubisky available at #10? Surely the Jets dont plan on a first rounder this year..with them bringing Geno back with Hack& Petty waiting. Poor Cutler gets nothing lol
