For the browns, i think I'd likely use their first 2nd round pick on a WR. If they do the trade I'm sure they'd be tempted by a top 3 WR in this draft, but they have problems along the offensive line and their new coach is a run first kinda guy.

GunnerBill Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If this happens could all the people who thought Adam Thielen would be fine without another top flight receiver opposite him because he was "the better guy anyway" please stand up? I am telling you... he needs someone else to draw the double coverage off him consistently or else his numbers will fall in 2020. As much as I love Diggs OBJ is an upgrade.... even he genuinely is a problem child in the locker room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think you need to do the same with Diggs too. Him and Thielen helped each other. And Thielen ended up with the better numbers. and man. OBJ is annoying but what a steal that would be. I can’t believe that is all it would take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical this is all it would take. Yeah, if this is true, the Vikings look like geniuses. Though they did greatly increase their douche factor. I think Cousins is a dork and not worth what he’s getting. But they have legit SB talent. If they did this, they are absolutely loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If it does happen, and especially for a 2nd and 5th, it's because OBJ wants a major salary increase. He played last year under his Giants deal meaning he has no guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening for that, especially considering what Diggs just netted in trade. As for Harris, he’d probably be a necessary component of any trade for a highly paid player. Minny could not fit a player like OBJ under their cap without dropping his salary in the process. The “source” is probably a mock draft (CBS?) that had OBJ to Minny for a future 2 & 5. Also the Browns have been trying to get a hold of Harris, but no dice thus far on that front. Edited April 15, 2020 by BarleyNY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average wideouts are making huge money now, so to move the contract you have to take less in return. It also doesnt hurt that Cleveland can trade OBJ away and still have their pick of Ruggs III, Jeudy, and Lamb at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Rumors never pan out... they dont randomly leak info to small time radio hosts. If this was Glazer or an actual NFL insider there may be something to it. Glazer was on OBJ out of NYG midseason before the trade. Cleveland is building around Baker. They will play 22 personal all day long. That set Baker had the best success as a rookoe and last year. Chubb or Hunt at Rb. OBJ and Landry outside with Njuko and Hooper inside. Outside multiple first rds OBj isnt going anywhere. Haslam likes the attention OBJ brings imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically 4 years and 60 million left on his deal that you would cover. Fair amount more than Diggs.

I'd probably still go offensive line in the first and then use their early 2nd on a WR. Stefanaski is a run first guy so I think they'll want to roll heavy PA with Chubb/Hunt. Plus they have Hooper/Njoku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
