I don't think you see trades like this because in the NFL it's illegal to trade for cap space lolBR1986FB;1840686 wrote:As mentioned, this is a brilliant move by the front office...like an NBA "dump" trade. Browns got more ammo for a QB trade and hopefully can somehow get another 3rd out of this.
The Hoodie loves him some 2nd round picks. The Browns now have 5 over the next two years. May not happen but could see the Browns front office sending a load of 2nd rounder's to NE for JG without touching any of this years 1st's.
Even if that isn't their intent, and they don't want to trade for Cousins either, they have the ammo to move back up in this draft to grab a QB if they so desire.
You just don't see trades like this in the NFL...pretty smart.
With our luck, the NFL will "investigate" this and find we broke a rule and take the second rounder away.
