    Crazy Trade: Brock sent packing

    The Texans have traded Brock Osweiler and their 2018 2nd Rounder, 2017 6th Rounder for a 2017 4th Round pick with the Cleveland Browns.

    Houston belongs to Romo now.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Really rare to see NFL trades that are salary dumps.

        I really like that the Browns stood their ground and got that 6th rounder in the deal. Otherwise this would have been one of the most lopsided trades in ages.

          Browns are expected to trade or release Brock.

            I'm confused at how Cleveland benefits from this

              They have nearly 100M in cap space. They picked up another second rounder. They can straight up cut Osweiler and it has no impact on them.

                They basically had way more cap than they could spend (over 100 million) so they bought a draft pick.

                  Romo isn't even a hall of famer. So why does the media treat this like Montana and Peyton part 3? We have seen McNabb become a free agent, McNair become a free agent, but no one got this much publicity


                  And okay I got it now. Wow actually a very smart move by cleveland

                    They have 22 picks in the next two drafts. They can literally draft a new team.

                      Smart move for Cleveland, especially if they can turn Brock over quickly to somebody else for more picks.
