3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 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. It seems to me, a rather nice play by the Browns. Dare i say? Smart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'd rather have a guy actually worth $16M. right? I also don't like giving up a 4th this year. Great draft. I assume they are going to try to use that 2018 2nd to keep trying for Jimmy G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 In case you're unaware, I'm a big, big fan of DePodesta. Not everything he's done has been a success, but he's a true innovator and really freaking smart. He's a baseball guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are going to try to use that 2018 2nd to keep trying for Jimmy G. Mary Kay says this trade won't prevent them from trying to acquire a QB like Jimmy G. So you might be right.

artmalibu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 They did? Nope. They didn't even get better at QB over what they had (since I assume your implying they got better than the Bills at QB). Why the F would you say that???? The Bills have nothing to do with what I posted and why the hell would would you think it did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY315 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Michael Giardi ✔@MikeGiardi Osweiler privately told people he should have never left the Broncos. That signing with Houston was a mistake. Ummm, I'd say he was right Lol, dummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know you and thought that's what you were getting at. My apologies. But I still disagree that they get better at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 use that money to bring in an actual QB instead if a bum and a pick Can cut him immediately no dead money for them. And get a 2nd round pick.

Brock couldn't get the over the fact they wanted PEYTON MANNING to get them to the Super Bowl. Team offered him plenty of cash. C'est la vie.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Hey! We are chasing a lucky 9-7 or 10-6 that sneaks into the playoffs! Until the Bills can win a Super Bowl they shouldn't even try. Now if you'll excuse me I need to hold my breath till I turn blue.

YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think the issue is, as many have intimated, the Browns are having a tough time attracting FAs and some are going elsewhere for less money. They have so much cap space because they have no QB, and most of their team were rookies or scrubs last year. So since they can't buy players they are buying picks. They can try to turn the picks into players either via draft or trading them for vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well, Cleveland has enough cap space to burn. Interesting to see what they do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is a great move. Take your Bills blinders off folks. I know the Browns are our rival for suck King, but common. One can acknowledge saying its a good move without having to say "why cant we be like the Browns; Bills have no plan". Can we do that or is that too difficult?

YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Their biggest problem is that they have wasted a ton of picks in the past with terrible drafting and no one knows if that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
