Possible the Browns are looking to trade Shadeur?

[Proudiddy]

I read this rumor the other day, and it makes sense…. It said the Browns are planning on trading Shadeur before final cuts.  Shortly after I saw this rumor, their dirtbag owner then came out and said he had nothing to do with picking him, sort of distancing himself from the whole thing - which is interesting, because the word out of their camp is Shadeur has been the best QB statistically to this point, with the only close competition being Flacco.  Why would an owner distance himself from a potential super-value pick if he was planning on keeping him?

i wanted us to draft him, and now with them in town for the joint practices and game, we know in the past, a lot of teams are able to get some really solid scouting and intel done in these settings and often pickup other players via cuts or trades from the teams they see up close in these joint practices.  I feel he has tremendous tools to build on.  I love his accuracy and anticipation, and so far, in their camp, he appears to be making huge strides and really impressing.  The Browns just seem to not want him, for whatever reason, and that dates back to even then drafting him.  Would you be interested in making a low-cost move for Shadeur as a developmental QB behind Bryce and Dalton?  I would love this move.

Good god no.

No. He is starting largely because Gabriel and Pickett are hurt. In my opinion, after reading about their camp, he’s been the best performer after Flacco, as well. Whatever the drama going on in the C-suites, I don’t think they would trade Sanders just because. 
 

Then again, they got rid of Baker. Who knows? I used to like Stefanski but the more I see, the more I realize drama just follows him around.

I know from our discussion during the draft you are not a fan, but I’m standing on this hill, LG.

I think he will end up being a really good pro QB but we do not need the distraction here.

Given their depth at the position idk why they would. It's going to be a long season.

Yeah, it would make zero sense to trade him, but it’s kind of tracking.  Sure, they could be starting him because he’s earning it, and again, by all reports, he has been statistically stunning throughout camp.  But, they also could be starting him to advertise the product to maximize value for him in a trade.  And again, Haslem’s comments make zero fuging sense.  Why wouldn’t you want to say you made the call on such a steal?  I would want to distance myself from the Gabriel pick at this point (but I never would’ve made that pick in the first place).  Also, saw Stefanski continue to downplay Shadeur in a presser last week, yet still continued to vouch for Gabriel after a historically atrocious day at camp (I think he was like 3/14 with an a couple INTs). I personally don’t think Gabriel is an NFL QB, and I made that assessment strictly from what I saw in college.  And Stefanski was saying stuff like Gabriel just wants to be great and he is going to work to be great blah blah blah.  So, again, it seems they really prop up Gabriel and downplay Shadeur.  It doesn’t make sense at all - but it does start seeming like, paired with their lack of enthusiasm upon drafting Shadeur, that they are trying to distance themselves and maybe get some value back for him.

No. Let Bryce either lead us to glory or his replacement.

[CPF4LIFE]

Insurance if bryce doesn't work out. 

[La Pantera]

Yeah let’s create a gigantic media circus, here.  For a player the most QB needy team in the league, doesn’t want. Kill BY confidence . And have two useless QBs.

its Sink or swim with Bryce this season. 

[countryboi]

It seems unlikely that you trade a rookie qb. Thats why it’s weird that they drafted Dillon and Sanders because normally having a rookie gives them some grace 

but it’s the Browns 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Straight up gossip going on here

No because if Bryce doesn’t work out we’re going to resign Cam.
