Good lord the Bills are the epitome of failure, but everyone jumps on the Browns. Makes one laugh

A wildcard game is considered wild success. And that is win or lose. Well it is if you win and continue on in the playoffs. That is a pipe dream. until Whaley is gone. And someone comes in a builds a team for long term success. Understands positional depth. The current roster which a week ago needed 45 players signed to field the pre season 90 man roster. All signed on a small cap number. In part due to horrid cap management. And overpaying both homegrown talent and FA's. And letting guys like Woods just walk because of their complete incompetence. Wake up Pegs! In reality a championship caliber Bills team is a long way off. No matter how many here believe it simply Tyrods responsability. Man they don't even have a kicking unit signed. How the eff Crossman is still here is a head scratcher. This could be a painful year. Like the past 16+. imo

26CornerBlitz Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 @AdamSchefter Despite any questions that some raised, the NFL officially has approved the Brock-Osweiler-to-Cleveland trade, per the league's wire.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Brock Osweiller at one time was someone's draft darling. Someone a poster swore the Bills would rue passing on. Please keep that in mind when you read how there are at least 6 franchise QBs in the upcoming draft.

frostbitmic Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Between 2017 and 2018 the Browns have 8 picks in the 1st two rounds, not bad. The Browns also started 6 QB's last year I believe, Osweiller is a big boy, maybe he can stay healthy. With all of those picks next year they can get in the Sam Darnold sweepstakes.
boyst Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The talk of now cutting him is interesting. However if they are looking at ne* maybe ne*, if I am them... I trade the other cb and Jeanine to Cleveland for brock restructured and draft picks

It was hilarious. Ohio maximum rate is 5.33%. 9 of his games his games are in Ohio. That's 480k plus the out of town games which cost (based on last year's schedule) about 355k for total of 835k a year. Fla probably the athlete's best bet.

They get a 2nd round pick to take a salary cap dump off another team. That is awesome!!! ....LMAO...they gave him a spot in VISITOR'S PARKING lot.............. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Browns are "trying to shop" Brock Osweiler. Emphasis on trying. There's been lots of conjecture on what the Browns plan to do with their newly-acquired piece of bad debt, but it doesn't seem like they will give it a chance to start. Osweiler is likely to either be released or dealt. The smart money is on released, making Osweiler a true NBA acquire-and-buyout acquisition. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Mar 10 - 12:45 PM

If it works everyone will be tanking and rebuilding as a normal thing.
HOUSE Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 If Cleveland does it then its bound to blow up in their face. Probably draft a player at #2 that has a long drug history OR a gang member on the run
