Why The Cleveland Browns Traded For A Quarterback They May Not Want

... film is based on, De Podesta, a former wide receiver at Harvard, is portrayed as himself. Now De Podesta is attempting, with the Browns, to portray himself as Theo Epstein, the 43-year-old Yale alum who was the general manager for both the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs when those baseball franchises ended championship droughts of 86 and 108 years, respectively. Deshaun Watson led the Clemson Tigers to the College Football Championship game in each of the past two years. Would the Cleveland Browns draft for a winning pedigree? USA TODAY SPORTS. Thursday’s trade moves Houston immediately closer to possessing a franchise quarterback (Romo) and puts Cleveland in a better position to acquire one. With its surfeit of draft picks, Cleveland could entice Patriots coach Bill Belichick to at last part ways with backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who in three seasons has two starts and two Super Bowl rings. If De Podesta wants to draft a quarterback, he has picks No. 1 and 12 late next month. The prevailing wisdom is that if the Browns keep the top overall pick, they’d select defensive end Myles Garrett out of Texas A&M and perhaps take a shot at one of three passers (Deshaun ...

Redskins Fire Scot Mccloughan; Brock Osweiler Dealt To Browns

... braced Eagles fans for the possibility that the team wasn't going to make a splash in free agency. Instead, Roseman went out and signed the top receiver on the market to fix a glaring need. According to Roseman, Jeffery was a player the team had targeted all along. It was just a matter of getting him at the right price. "Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it was something that we wanted,"  Roseman said of the one-year deal. "But from our perspective, it was a win-win situation, and when you have guys on one-year deals, you still have options. I mean, you have tags at your disposal. You have exclusive negotiating rights before free agency. "For us, we thought it was a great opportunity to get a player who's extremely talented and has something to prove and wanted to be here.". Jeffery is essentially on an expensive one-year tryout. The Eagles' cap situation is tight, but Jeffery has shown the ability to be an elite pass catcher. And as Roseman mentioned, if Jeffery plays well, the team will have options in the ...

Is Mike Glennon The Next Brock Osweiler

... success and you project it into something more. The problem is, if you’re wrong, you’ve made the situation even worse because of the resources you’ve devoted.”. The Bears appear poised to say their goodbyes to Jay Cutler, who could be released if he’s not traded. They and the New York Jets were thought to be the front-runners for Glennon. The Bears landed him with a three-year deal worth approximately $45 million, or perhaps just a shade under that. [ What’s the Jets’ next move at QB? Cutler? Kaepernick? Mc Carron? Draft someone? ]. The Bears must hope that Glennon, if given a Kirk Cousins-like opportunity, demonstrates Cousins-like production rather than Osweiler-ish mistakes. Glennon spent four seasons in Tampa. He had decent success as a rookie in 2013 out of N. C. State, making 13 starts for the Buccaneers and throwing for 2,608 yards and 19 touchdowns with nine ...

Browns Had Better Win Big On Brock Osweiler Gamble

... Process move. MORE: NFL free agency tracker. They’d better hope it was Moneyball, because even beyond the first glance, it smells more like Sam Hinkie than Billy Beane. The cost of blowing this deal — wherever it takes the Browns — is so high it could actually take them back not only to where they started, but behind that. Which is saying a lot about a team that had recently planned its future around Johnny Manziel. In the first hour or so after the trade broke, the world was 50-50 on whether Sashi Brown, Paul De Podesta and Hue Jackson were heroes or clowns. Desperate organizations tend to get undue praise for simply acting outside the box, for trying to game the system. Just as bad, moves often sound better than they make practical sense. Practically speaking, the Browns are going into Year 2 of a rebuild, and they just tried to solve their quarterback problem by negotiating into Year 3 (with the 2018 second-round pick the Texans gave them to take Osweiler’s contract) while adding a quarterback who has no business being in their plans in any year right now. That’s a good way to assure you don’t get a Year 3. MORE: Best — and worst — of NFL free ...

Was Brock Osweiler Trade Just A Way For Cleveland To Pry Jimmy Garoppolo From The Patriots

... off their books even if they don’t land Romo. The Browns signaled that they don’t have much use for Osweiler, either, with football operations chief Sashi Brown starting off his official statement on the deal with, “We’re really excited to acquire a second-round draft choice in this trade.”. “Draft picks are extremely important to our approach in building a championship caliber football team,” Brown added. “We are intent on adding competition to every position on our roster and look forward to having Brock come in and compete.”. [ NFL free agency – Latest news, rumors and analysis ]. It Cleveland doesn’t turn around and trade Osweiler to another team, which is not out of the question, it will essentially have paid $16 million — Osweiler’s cost this year before he can be cut with no further obligation — for a second-round pick. That may seem like a steep price, although the nature of this deal, akin to what NBA teams have done but essentially unprecedented in the NFL, makes it a difficult judgment to render with any certainty. In any event, if it helps land the highly regarded Garoppolo, the cost could well have been worth it, especially considering that the Browns ...

Texans Send Osweiler To Browns

... both cash and salary cap room to continue to improve our football team.". The stunning move takes Osweiler’s $16 million salary off the books and clears $10 million in salary cap space for Tony Romo - or another quarterback. Most Texas fans were excited about the move. “I love it, I love it. I just hope they can get somebody good to replace him,” said Texans fan Kenneth Hamilton. Romo is expected to be waived by the Cowboys although rumors are swirling they made try to trade him instead. Tony Romo has spent all 14 of his NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. (Photo: Tim Heitman, USA TODAY Sports). Romo would make Houston the clear favorite to win the AFC South. But Doubters are worried about his age and history of injuries. And the Texans aren't the only team interested in Romo. The  Broncos have been “ready to pursue” Romo for a while now  , and adding a veteran superstar quarterback would be nothing new for John Elway, who managed to lure Peyton Manning to Denver when Manning left the  Colts  after being released.
