  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.

  I don't think you see trades like this because in the NFL it's illegal to trade for cap space lol
  
  With our luck, the NFL will "investigate" this and find we broke a rule and take the second rounder away.

  Stickying this for when the Jets are in the middle of an 0-13 season. See if you still feel that way.

If Peyton saw Brady come in and perform better, or close to it (at half the cost) Manning might be looking over his shoulder every snap, pissing down his leg afraid to make a mistake.

  If both are that good, trade one.

  I am confident that jimmy g is a good QB. I think if he wasn't, the patriots would be giving him up with open arms. They're holding onto him because they don't want to give him up, but if the browns make them a nice offer they have to accept since they still have 3-4 more years out of brady at an elite level. They'd be stupid not to.

  Okay then. Time will tell.
  
  We both made predictions that will fall one way or the other in 2 years.

  BTW....if the Browns lock in a trade with NE for Garoppolo, there needs to be an agreement that they take Cam Erving in the deal.

  I doubt that happens but I could see Josh Gordon being involved in the deal

  It was a joke. I'd trade Erving for a rotting banana peel.

  Browns claimed Marcus Martin, a center from SF, off waivers.

  Seeing a lot of rumors that Pats will take Osweiler and "several" 2nd rounders from browns for jimmy g. Sign me the fuck up for that.

  Exactly! The titans pick this year, the Houston pick and the eagles 2nd rounder next year and call it a trade lol

  All. Day. Long.
  
  I haven't had this much fun on opening day of free agency since old Phil Savage was wheeling & dealing. Hopefully the results are significantly better.

  Top G/C prospect few yrs ago in the draft. Matt Miller said on twitter that the dude hates football and he was just cut form the worst team in the NFL. I doubt he makes it through TC.

  Nothing will happen until draft day as far as jimmy g goes.

  All true plus I this he was the worst ranked center (or pretty close) in the league last year. Not much more than a warm camp body.

  Erving was worst rated center.

  I'll take a few really shitty seasons if there is a plan in place and they stick to it. I'm sick of swimming mediocrity.

  Bill Polian recently went on a rant where he said Moss and Owens shouldn't be in the HoF regardless of stats because they weren't good enough team players in his mind. But apparently having connections to murder and shootings like his guy in the HoF is cool.

  Schefty reporting Pats aren't trading jimmy G no matter the offer. Fack
• like_that

  

  Did you all see the tweet from MKC (obviously take it with a grain of salt) that the pats would ask for the Browns two first round picks this year and their 2018 first round pick for Jimmy?
  
  LOL they can fuck themselves to hell if they really expect that. The moneyball browns wouldn't do it anyway. Sashi Brown made no mention of Brock and showed all the excitement in the world for gaining more picks when he was speaking to the press [emoji23].
