Browns exploring trade offers for Duke Johnson


Recommended Posts

I'd be ok with it if they can get him for a 5th.   He is still relatively young, and doesnt have a lot of miles on the wheels.

 

I've always kind of wondered why he was so underused as a runner though.

 

Then again, may want to explore Tevin Coleman in free agency first.

I wouldn't mind it for one of our 5ths and maybe a conditional next year. 

 

Does this move mean the brownies are sold on Hunt? Cause that seems dangerous. 

 

Hunt is definitely a factor. With Hunt, Cleveland has two of the top 10 rated RBs from last year. I also wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland thinks they can get a receiving back at a fraction of the cost. Duke is a good one, and there's certainly value in getting a guy that you know is a good receiving back, but teams seemingly find good receiving backs on Day 3 or off the trash heap every year; I imagine the Browns simply don't want to pay their #3 RB (or #2 if Hunt gets in trouble again) like a starting RB. He's currently slated to have the 19th highest cap hit in the league next year at the RB position and looks poised to move up into the top 10 in 2020.
