Super Bowls aren't won in March

I like Zeitler but if he's going to Cleveland he's chasing money. There are other guards available.

See my note above. It would not shock me if we sign none or only one veteran defensive free agents.

I am becoming convinced that Ballard is going with the long view and will want to build the defense pretty much solely through the draft.

However, to give him time and take the pressure off, he is going to pump the offense up to rock star levels in order to win games.

Wide Receivers before Linebackers. Oh my.......

Good, let's just waste a few more years of Lucks career!!! I thought no more Star War numbers ??

The contract is for five years and $60 million, and includes $31.5 million in guarantees.

sherck 03-09-2017 04:06 PM

Honestly, the money we paid Doyle is looking pretty cheap right now with some of these eye popping numbers.

Houston Trades Osweiler to Cleveland
 
Adam Schefter‏
NFL stunner: Texans trade QB Brock Osweiler AND a 2018 second-round pick to Cleveland for the Browns to take Osweiler’s $16M salary of Houston’s books, per league sources. The move clears out millions in salary-cap space for Houston to intensify efforts to sign former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, per sources. To be exact, Houston saves $16 million in cash and $10 million against their cap this season. The Texans also will get the Browns’ fourth-round pick this year in exchange for their own 6th-round pick. So Cleveland gets Osweiler’s contract, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick, and Houston gets Cleveland’s 2017 fourth-round pick, saves $10 million in salary-cap space and $16 million in cash. Cleveland is not committed to keeping Osweiler and is likely to try to trade him, per sources. If so, it would turn into a basketball-like trade in which NBA teams routinely trade contracts to get them off their books; only it rarely, if ever, happens in the NFL. It’s hard to remember in the salary-cap era another team when a team traded a contract to get it off its books. But Houston was so anxious to rid itself of Osweiler and move on to its next quarterbacking chapter that it is giving Cleveland extra picks to take him and his contract. The Browns headed into this free-agent signing period with over $100 million worth of salary-cap space and would struggle to spend it all. Now they can devote some of it to Osweiler’s contract and acquiring extra draft picks from Houston. But this is one of the most, if not the most, creative trade in NFL history.

@jimosborne45
This is intel I'm getting. Jeffrey & Colts? Thought is Ballard is not a fan of Moncrief in terms of effort or commitment. He's FA in 2018

Also now the Vikings are in the mix for Jeffrey

@MikeGarafolo
Jeff Locke to the Colts. He will replace Pat McAfee as the team's punter

Spike 03-09-2017 04:52 PM

Damn, I was hoping Osweiler was staying in Houston. Fucking Browns.

Indiana V2 03-09-2017 04:57 PM

And the dumb Browns traded for Brock Osweiler from the meffing Texans, eff us!

so much for Romo headed to Houston

The #Texans, who clear $10M in cap room, have space for Tony Romo. They will not be trading for him.

The one thing I noticed is that almost 1/2 his punts in 2016 were downed inside the 20.

But other than that? Yeah, I got nothing.

Glad we have a punter.

The Browns. F**king idiots. Why would they help the Texans like that?

I really dont want Romo in our division. He's a decent qb, and with their defense.....?

Not good.

Jeffery to the Eagles on 1 year, $14m deal.

They're apparently thinking about cutting Brock Lobster.

This looks like it was them spending $16M of cap space in exchange for a 2nd round pick.

I mean, I guess when you've got $100M, that's one way to spend $16M in cap space...

Buy a 2nd rounder essentially then pay him.

They can afford it.
