If I'm Cleveland I draft the guy and then give him the option of not playing for 4 years or signing the contract...

Enough of these players thinking they can control what team they play on.

Exactly...what if the Bills wanted to trade up with the browns for Rosen but didn’t because he only wants to play for NY?...straight up BS

I don’t think that it works that way. If he doesn’t sign the contract he is eligible again for the draft a year later (Bo Jackson).

So if he thinks the Browns will take him, he won’t declare. Problem is that he needs to make that decision in about 3 weeks.

UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen would prefer to play for the Giants over the Browns and would be hesitant to come out in next year's NFL draft if he knew that Cleveland was going to take him with the No. 1 overall pick, according to league sources familiar with the situation.

That's probably right...I just think that gives them too much leverage. They should be forced to play for the team that drafts them regardless

That almost happened with Joey Bosa as well

Do the browns lose that pick though or are they awarded an extra first rounder the following year?

It happens all of the time in baseball. We aren’t heading in the direction of the players having less say over their careers. We are going to see it more and more whether it be guys pushing where they get drafted, refusing to sign the tag, offset language, etc...
