Surprised to see him get traded this late. Looked certain that situation was heading toward him being released. But, Browns gonna Brown.

Yeah, it's odd.  Jets traded for an LB that was on the Jets in the past too.  Makes no sense.

Brown's traded for a in the box SS in Pryor just after drafting one in Peppers

Sent using the amazing CarolinaHuddle mobile app
 

Was thinking about that too, maybe the Browns think Peppers is going to take at least a year or two to get fully accustomed to playing safety. That would honestly be the smartest way to handle him, but its the Browns.

I could see that.  Sit him down for a year, let him bulk up, learn the system, etc.

It's a good move for the Browns. They shed an LB who was a middling performer and pick a former first round draft pick who should still be on his rookie deal. The Browns are playing moneyball and it might take a couple more years for everything to pay off, but in the end they might be able to build a good team of loyal players (a lot of cast offs from other teams) that won't cost them an arm or a leg. The Raiders did it in the 70s and 80s, and heck you could even say the Panthers did it in 2002-2003.

Good luck to them. Something tells me they're doing better than the Jets.

It was two players who were likely gonna get cut anyway getting traded for each other.

Wonder who came out ahead in dead money, though? Cutting both players would have been a decent hit to each team with no potential upsides.

I honestly think the Browns are doing better than they have been (isn't saying much) I don't get the hate.

They're building a defense and had a good draft on paper IMO. The have some online peices. They need a qb and they need to be able to put all these pieces together.

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
