interesting indeed

Neither have lived up to the massive contracts they got. Giants are in dyer need for some quality o-line though. Zeitler and Hernandez could be a very good duo in the interior.

I'd rather protect Mayfield if I was Cleveland

For all those who  want Ballard to go hard for top tier free agents.  Anyone seeing a trend?  A lot of these guys that r signed in the first day of free agency never live up to their contracts.  They end up getting cut a couple of years after signing for big money.  The better value is signing a couple of good players with a decent  team friendly contract.

Zeitler is a redundancy.  An expensive one at that.  They drafted Corbett last year, and they expect him to start.

Seems like a good trade for both teams. I'd say its better for the brownies. A LBer for a G.

That's a good way to be mediocre.
