Browns trading for J Landry

I can't remember a year where there's been so many trades prior to the FA period.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.  I swear, I've been on nfl.com looking at combine or scouting reports and its' like every time I open up the window it's another trade or mega deal or something crazy.

Cleveland eh?

 

Man Landry must have done something to really anger the Dolphins.

According to Rapoport, it's because Cleveland has the money to redo his deal. Why on Earth he'd want to go to the Browns, I have no idea.

He has no choice. He was traded to the Browns.

 

He has a choice.   The Browns want him to TE-do his contract.    If he wanted to he could refuse to do that.   He has leverage if he wants to use it.

 

But...   Cleveland will likely give him a new 5-year deal with a big signing bonus.   Landry is going for the money.   Signing bonus plus guarantees.  

 

Just glad it's not the Colts....

Yeah, but does he really want money that badly that he'd go to the Browns? I guess if all he's looking for is to get paid, that makes sense.

 

Yes, he's a ME guy, and that's why I didn't want him here.

He can hang with LBJ now. And I don't mean the dead President.

It's his choice to sign a new contract but not the trade. If the Dolphins wanted to trade him to the Browns there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Not really. It don't matter if he wanted to or not go to the Browns.  I don't think he had a no trade clause in his contract.

 

He could've just refused to sign the tag. That wouldn't have allowed Miami to trade him. Miami is in huge cap crunch too, so they might have had to rescind the tag.

Miami can trade any player on their roster if they want to. Even if he didn't sign the tag they could still trade him if they found someone to trade with.

Correct.

 

I was only saying he could make the deal financially uncomfortable for Cleveland.  Painful for the Browns.

 

This deal only got done because Landry agreed to re-work the contract.  It doesn't happen without his cooperation.

 

But yes...  if Cleveland was willing to do the deal without Landry's cooperation, he couldn't stop it.

That is all I was saying. 

With that said if the Browns do get a decent QB they have a couple of pretty good receivers for sure.

Technically, he's not on their roster because he's not under contract. This has come up in the past, players who have received a tag but haven't signed it, can't be traded.

Gordon, Landry, Coleman, Johnson. Add Barkley and a decent QB and they'll have a good offense.

    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.  
    • You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.
    • They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash. 
    • Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.     
    • Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light.
