Browns Receive: Osweiler and his salary, 2nd round pick, 6th round pick, 

 

Texans Receive: 6th round pick

[deedub75]

Romo probably going to Houston now. 

[12isthenew18]

Can we all appreciate the fact that they stole a second rounder from houston?

[SilentHill]

Man nothing says "I messed up" like trading your franchise QB a 2nd rounder and 6th rounder for a 6th, lol.

[chad72]

Add him to that dumpster fire list of QBs on that Browns jersey  

[JimJaime]

Per ESPN they traded Osweiler, a 2nd round pick and a 6th round pick for a 4th round pick.

 

basically Cleveland starts him for a year and eats his salary and gained a 2nd round pick.. a pretty sweet deal for them!

It however does make them serious about addressing the QB position. They weren't afraid to admit a mistake, I will give them some credit for that.

 

They didn't want the Broncos to one-up them again with Romo, like with the Osweiler situation.

[pgt_rob]

Wow! A 2nd and a 6th! Dang...

[BlueShoe]

Brilliant move by both teams. 

 

One of of the best trades ever   

[Luck is Good]

This is bad. Romo probably going to the Texans. All they need is a QB and no matter how much I rag on Romo, he's much better than Brock

[JimJaime]

Great move by Cleveland, you are not a playoff team next year, not even close and you just got a 2nd round pick and a QB  for well 16M in cap space.. and they have tons of cap space!!

[Derakynn]

This so interesting. I'd normally attribute paying another team to take a player's salary to basketball. Doesn't seem to be a common occurrence in the NFL. 

[jvan1973]

This is so funny.

Not when he is in the trainers room

[SaturdayAllDay]

I feel like Cleveland could cut Osweiler tomorrow, take the cap hit, and still come out as the winners of this trade...

[myic90]

This was a brilliant move, out of left field and quite well done. I guess this means Romo to Texans gains some more weight?

Romo could still go to Denver

I think he is the starter this year while they groom a rookie. Honestly its about the fact that they get a 2nd rd pick. They had the money to burn. I don't think they believe he is a long term solution.

 

Houston now should have Tony Romo....a HUGE upgrade. Bill Obrein is all-in it would seem. He fits his offense to a T. They gave up a 2nd to get rid of Oz....now what do they have to give up to get Tony?

[indyagent17]

This is why Cleveland is the laughing stock of the NFL

[2006Coltsbestever]

Even if Romo ends up in Houston, can he stay healthy? When he gets hit, he seems to get injured. I will give Houston credit on one thing, they got rid of that bum Brock.

Had to create cap space for Tony.

[Shive]

If Cleveland nails this draft, they could be good. They loaded up their OL and have a handful of top picks in a DEEP draft.

[corgi]

Cleveland is debating releasing him. Haha, good grief.

Always a possibility. But if healthy, Houston has a chance to be pretty good

Or trading him again. For some reason I don't think there are many teams out there willing to bite though , lol.

Cleveland is actualy the winner of this trade, believe it or not.  They get a bad contract and player, yes.  But They also get a second rounder.  Given how they are going young and they turned in a bunch of rookie contracts last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did somethign similar this year, they aren't going to be up against the cap until those rookie deals are to the point they need to be re-signed and the Osweiler contract will be done by then.

That couldn't be further from the truth, this trade is BRILLIANT.

 

Cleveland cant win this year, holds 16M for a failing QB when they have the room and get a 2nd round pick for it.

Yup, they won this trade in lopsided fashion.

Yes but they could do more with cap space then hold 16 million for a player they may release.

Brock is a bum but if Romo goes to Houston, can he stay healthy? If he gets injured than Houston is screwed again. Romo has been fragile lately.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Alshon Jeffery just signed a 1 year deal with Philly for 14 mill! That is a lot of cash.

From what I've read, it would only cost them $8.5 mil to release him. All they did was buy a 2nd round pick. That's really smart for a team building for the future. They have a handful of top picks in a good draft..

[chad72]

This makes it less likely for the Cowboys to expect a trade for Romo. Broncos were never going to trade for him. If the Texans didn't have the cap room, a trade would have made sense but now they have the cap room. All that everyone needs to do is force Jerry's hand to release Romo.
