Losers seeking more losers.
Sad day for Browns fans.

Disagree with you because in addition to Brock they also received 2 draft picks for 1 draft pick....

Also heard Cleve. has been getting phone calls from other teams for Brock....

Think the Browns made a good trade....

Intersting....

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Browns are considering releasing Brock Osweiler.

This report comes just 20 minutes after the Browns acquired Osweiler from Houston in a bombshell trade nobody saw coming. It looks like there's a good chance Osweiler will never play a down for Cleveland as the Browns will simply absorb his $16 million salary and move on. Cleveland has all the cap space in the world so the $16 million hit isn't a big deterrent. Perhaps the Browns will package their first-round pick with the 2018 second-rounder they just received from Houston in a trade for Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo.

  The Browns' trade for Brock Osweiler was the one of the 'most creative' trades in NFL history and it looks like a genius move
  
• The Cleveland Browns sent a shock wave through the NFL world on Thursday afternoon when they came out of nowhere and traded for Houston Texans $72 million quarterback Brock Osweiler

ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the details of the trade, which are unlike what we usually see in the NFL. In fact, the logistics of the agreement look a lot more like something we'd typically see in the NBA.
And, upon closer inspection, it's a brilliant move for the Browns.
According to Schefter, the Texans really wanted to part ways with Osweiler, who struggled mightily during his first season in Houston and was on the books for approximately $18 million this year. Enter Cleveland, who began the start of the new NFL year with roughly $100 million in cap space. With money to spend, the Browns offered to take Osweiler's contract off the Texans' shoulders if the Texans also sent them a sixth-round pick this year and, even better, a second-round draft pick in 2018. The Texans said yes.

• Here's how Schefter explained it: "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."
• In other words, what Cleveland did was buy themselves a second-round draft pick in next year's draft by agreeing to take on the $16 million of Osweiler's contract. It's brilliant ? for a team that is basically rebuilding itself from the bottom up, draft picks are the most valuable asset, and $16 million sounds like a good price for a second-rounder when you have close to $100 million to spend.
• Plus, it means that if the Browns do decide to trade one of their two first-round picks this year for New England backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo (as has been widely reported), this new pick from the Texans will essentially even things out and ensure the Browns are still drafting and developing young talent.
• But it gets better. According to Schefter, the Browns are not keen on keeping Osweiler longterm. That said, Osweiler does have some value left simply because he's a semi-competent quarterback at a time in the league when there's a major dearth of competency at the quarterback position.
• If the Browns can't find a trade partner for Osweiler, they can cut him and owe him nothing besides his 2017 salary. Again, that's $16 million, which is not much for a second-round pick. As Schefter noted, it's perhaps the most "creative trade in NFL history."
  It's also pretty nice for the Texans. They can exhale now that they have Osweiler's contract off their books and with their cleared cap space can pursue a quarterback they prefer. The most popular name, according to reports, is Tony Romo.
• Ultimately, the only real loser here seems to be Brock Osweiler, who over the past two seasons has gone from Peyton Manning's backup, to the Texans' prized starter, to a quarterback the Browns will either cut, or trade. If there's any consolation for Osweiler, it's that he's still making plenty of money

  ✔ @AlbertBreer Remainder of Osweiler's deal: 3 years, $51 million. The Browns are essentially paying $16 million (what's due in '17) for a 2nd-round pick

2018: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7

Considering their history and front office, they could have 15 first round picks and they'd miss on them all.
