    So let me get this right...

    The Browns dont even have a first round pick. They send a 2nd to the packers and sign Corey Williams.

    Next they reportedley send Leigh Bodden to Detriot along with a 3rd and sign Shaun Rogers.

    What exactly is our issue here? The Browns seem to be having little issue getting things done. Weve got 10 friggin draft picks, and a ******ed amount of cap space. It would be nice to sign one DT who isnt somebody elses scrub.

    By all accounts weve had Stroud at OBD all f-n day. The browns pick up a phone and 2 hours later have a probowl DT. Outstanding.

    ROGERS TO BROWNS A DONE DEAL
    According to Hondo Carpenter of SpartanNation.com, who as we understand it is very well plugged in as to the goings on in Motown, the Lions have finalized a trade of defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to the Browns.
    In return, the Lions reportedly will get cornerback Leigh Bodden and a third-round draft choice.
    Carpenter says that the league office rejected a trade that would have sent Rogers to the Bengals for a third-round and a fifth-round pick.

        They gave up more than just a 3rd, Bodden is a good player. Just ask Chad Johnson.

          Before we get too wrapped up in this story...think to yourself...would you ever trust a reporter with the name HONDO?
          Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

            I hear what you're saying, but I think you're being slightly impatient - I'd rather not give up most of our first day picks just to get things done as fast as humanly possible.

                I agree Devin.

                2nd and 3rd tier free agents have not been getting it done for this team. While not every player needs to be an A1 money maker, it would be nice to have a foundation built around a few.

                  I disagree. If it took a 2nd and a 3rd + a pick/player to land Corey williams and Shaun Rogers in one day there is zero question it gets done.

                  Cleveland it would appear, understood that.

                    Hello! If you could draft a guy in Corey Williams caliber in the 2nd round, it'd be a steal. That's what the Browns just did.

                    Yes you'll pay a lot more than a 2nd rounder, but if you got the cap room why the hell not.

                    Sometimes it's hard not to go back to the Ralph is cheap argument.

                      Why do we care about the browns?

                          Because why the hell can't we improve our team at the same rate they do? Same small market team, we have more cap room and lots more draft picks. WTF.
