A first would be beyond idiotic for Osi.

Hope you're right because, if not, this is embarrassing as fuck...

"Browns remain on the hook for the 2012 fifth-rounder they sent to the Eagles even if Bunkley doesn't show because NFL trades are made "at your own risk."

This implies he would rather not play at all, really….

Don't most trades have a clause that nullifies everything if the player can't pass a physical? I don't think whoever said that knows what they're talking about. And if this really is a case where Bunkley is just walking away, then the Browns front office isn't as bright as we thought they were.

That's if they can't pass a physical. Other than that, it sounds like it's "at your own risk."

Bunkley is also in a contract year and it's been speculated that he wants a new deal prior to attending camp.

I thought at your own risk only applies to before the CBA agreement. Pretty sure the trade is nullified if the bum doesn't show.

If that's the case, horrible trade. He's an average to above average player at best anyway. He helps depth wise and adds a bit more run stopping ability, but other than that, he can't get to the QB.

Lol no way we are just going to lose a 5th round pick because this bum couldn't pass a physical.

Well he never did pass the physical...even if he never took it. So I doubt the Browns would still lose the trade. If a guy doesnt take the physical, he cant pass. If he cant pass, no trade. At least I would assume.

2011 is the last year of his rookie (6 year) deal. Just checked it...

Point taken. This makes me feel a little better. Even if it is Florio...

There is no way Cleveland's front office gives up one of it's TWO first rounders next year for Osi. 3rd - maybe, but I don't think so. Osi really wants to play in Seattle (for some reason) so maybe that's where he ends up. Cleveland is in the running for Tatupu or however you spell it.
Tatupu would be a nice haul for the Browns, so it won't happen.

I'll believe that the Browns are "in the running' when I see it. No disrespect to OSP2003 but the Browns have been VERY slow on the draw. If the player has "name recognition" it seems like they want no part of him. They'd rather trade for guys like that guard, Richard Grieco (Greco), from 21 Jump Street and A Night at the Roxbury.

I'm eager to see him get some PT, esp since Erica Womangini wouldn't play him after TRADING for him.

I got the impression that Heckert tradedfor him. Why Mangini did not play him is not known, he seemed healthy at practice.

New destination for Brodrick Bunkley. After refusing to report to Cleveland, Eagles have shipped him to Denver for conditional pick in 2013.

So I assume that means that Cleveland doesn't lose their 5th rounder?

Correct and now we see why Heckert is going to have to DRAFT to get this team to the next level. Literally nobody wants to come here now. Kind of a head scratcher though. Mangini, who was known for his dictatorship, could get FA's here but Holmgren's pedigree can't?

Eh, it's one instance. We have no idea what kind of prima dona Bunkley might be. He was a top rated college player who is basically a bust at this point. He may believe he's way better than he is. Wouldn't be the first time.

Who knows if he even reports to Denver? Seems like this guy just isn't much of a professional.

Only a conditional 2013 pick now? WTF Heckert, looks like he was taken behind the woodshed on that deal.
