All right. Well, take care yourself. I guess that’s what you do best. Β WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THE CLEVELAND BROWNS DOING?!?!
Well, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, this was actually quite the savvy Moneyball move. Β Once Brock Osweiller wasΒ acquired from the Houston Texans, the Browns had never intended on keeping the man formerly known as “The Brockweiller” Β (see Redman & Method Man’s – Da Rockwilder). Β Here’s what actually happened…

Cleveland took Osweiller’s salary off the books for the Texans but also received a 2nd and 6th round pick in this years draft (just an FYI, Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round if you didn’t know that already). Β In return, the Texans got Cleveland’s compensatory 4th round pick and were able to rid themselves of Os’s $16 Million guaranteed contract.
Moving forward, the Brown’s are attempting to move Os in exchange for a 3rd round pick and are willing to pay up to half of the QB’s guaranteed salary, which makes him a somewhat viable, somewhat affordable back up… somewhat. Β If the Browns can’t move Ossweiler they will renounce his rights and in essence would have paid $16 million to move from the 4th round, to the 2nd round. Β Amazing what ownership will spend their money on when things don’t count against the cap. Β All-in-all, that just about wraps things up. Β Good luck Cleveland and thank you Cleveland.com for the write up. Β Enjoy your factories!
