Redskins Fire Scot Mccloughan; Brock Osweiler Dealt To Browns

... about his favorite routes that have led to success in that department, Jeffery didn't mince words. "There's a only a few routes you can run," Jeffery said. When pressed further, Jeffery, as he did during the entire presser, put it simply. "Just throw it up.". Most of Mychal Kendricks' salary guaranteed as Friday deadline passes. By Dave Zangaro | __link__ March 10, 2017 4:29 PM. As of 4 p.m. on Friday, a good portion of Mychal Kendricks' salary is now guaranteed. Of Kendricks' $4.85 million base salary in 2017, $4.35 million became guaranteed at 4 p.m. on Friday, a league source confirmed. The Eagles have been trying for weeks to trade the 26-year-old linebacker with no luck. A source said there's still a possibility of Kendricks' getting dealt. In 2016, Kendricks was the Eagles' weakside linebacker but played just 27 percent of defensive snaps while Jordan Hicks and Nigel Bradham rarely left the field. Kendricks' cap hit in 2017 is $6.6 million. The Eagles would save $1.8 in cap space if he's traded. If not, he'll be back as a starter who still has a limited role. This isn't the first time trade talks have surrounded Kendricks - there were some in the summer of ...

Texans Send Osweiler To Browns

... a shocking twist, the Houston Texans have traded Brock Osweiler to the Cleveland Browns along with a second-round draft pick in 2018. The Texans get the Browns fourth-round pick this year in exchange for their sixth-round pick, according to reports. OFFICIAL: The #Texans have traded QB Brock Osweiler to the Cleveland Browns. — Houston Texans (@Houston Texans) March 9, 2017. “We are committed to bringing a championship to the city of Houston,” said Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Rick Smith.

Why The Cleveland Browns Traded For A Quarterback They May Not Want

... de guerre of “Too Tall.” Ed Jones played 15 seasons with a blue star on his helmet, three of them as an All-Pro. Last year the Houston Texans signed a 6-foot-8-inch free agent quarterback named Brock Osweiler, who after one season, 16 interceptions and $37 million in guaranteed salary was deemed by the front office as “Too Expensive.”. On Thursday, the Texans, finding themselves between a Brock and a hard place, traded Osweiler, 26, and two draft picks (second- and sixth-rounders) to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Osweiler is far from the most egregiously expensive project undertaken in the Lone Star State to be scuttled before completion—or, in his case, incompletion. (Anyone remember the Waxahachie, Texas-based  Superconducting Super Collider that was abandoned after $2.2 billion had been spent?) He’s just the latest example of the axiom that “everything’s bigger in Texas,” including gross overestimates of and over-expenditures for quarterback talent. This trade, unprecedented in NFL annals (but long common in the NBA), is not about talent but about bookkeeping. The Texans, who had guaranteed $37 million of Osweiler’s four-year, $72 ...

Browns Had Better Win Big On Brock Osweiler Gamble

... MORE: NFL free agency tracker. They’d better hope it was Moneyball, because even beyond the first glance, it smells more like Sam Hinkie than Billy Beane. The cost of blowing this deal — wherever it takes the Browns — is so high it could actually take them back not only to where they started, but behind that. Which is saying a lot about a team that had recently planned its future around Johnny Manziel. In the first hour or so after the trade broke, the world was 50-50 on whether Sashi Brown, Paul De Podesta and Hue Jackson were heroes or clowns. Desperate organizations tend to get undue praise for simply acting outside the box, for trying to game the system. Just as bad, moves often sound better than they make practical sense. Practically speaking, the Browns are going into Year 2 of a rebuild, and they just tried to solve their quarterback problem by negotiating into Year 3 (with the 2018 second-round pick the Texans gave them to take Osweiler’s contract) while adding a quarterback who has no business being in their plans in any year right now. That’s a good way to assure you don’t get a Year 3. MORE: Best — and worst — of NFL free agency. Also ...

Qb Brock Osweiler Becomes A Brown

... Motor Speedway is urging fans and small businesses to give him time to fill in the gaps now that one of its two NASCAR races is moving to Las Vegas. Las Vegas officials approved a sponsorship agreement with Speedway Motorsports on Wednesday to shift the NASCAR Cup Series race to Nevada in 2018. The race traditionally has been held in September in New Hampshire, which also hosts a July race. Two people with knowledge of the decision say Dawn Staley will be the next U. S. women's basketball Olympic coach. The South Carolina head coach helped the U. S. win gold medals as a player in 1996, 2000 and 2004. Staley also was an assistant coach on the 2008 and 2016 teams that won golds at the Olympics. In baseball’s spring training, the Yankees won against Atlanta 8-7 and Detroit tied the Mets 5-5. Oakland Athletics ace Sonny Gray will begin the season on the disabled list with a lat strain. Gray has been shut down from ...

Was Brock Osweiler Trade Just A Way For Cleveland To Pry Jimmy Garoppolo From The Patriots

... story is published. You’re all set. By Des Bieler By Des Bieler March 9 Follow @Des Bieler. Brock Osweiler, left, may not be in Cleveland for long, with Jimmy Garoppolo still a possible Browns target. (Getty Images). The Browns pulled off a stunner Thursday, sending a fourth-round pick to the Texans in exchange for Brock Osweiler , plus a sixth-round pick and a 2018 second-rounder. Observers barely had a chance to make jokes about Cleveland suffering through another awful quarterback era before word got out that the Browns made the deal primarily to get the second-round pick. With that in mind, an intriguing possibility emerged: What if the ultimate goal of that trade was to pry Jimmy Garoppolo away from the Patriots. Among others proposing that scenario was Mary Kay Cabot, a longtime Browns beat writer. “The Browns have the ammunition to acquire Jimmy Garoppolo and will try to put together a strong package that the Patriots will accept,” she wrote at __link__. The Osweiler trade is like The Gift of the Magi: #Texans cleared cap space to maybe sign Romo and #Browns get more ammo to try for Jimmy G. — Mary Kay Cabot (@Mary Kay Cabot) ...

They have lined up a deal, worth about $15 million per season, to sign free agent Mike Glennon, formerly Jameis Winston’s backup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now the question becomes: Is it the right move. [ Mike Glennon headed to Chicago to be the Bears’ new starter at QB ]. The Bears’ maneuver immediately calls to mind the Houston Texans’ signing of free agent quarterback Brock Osweiler last offseason to an $18 million-a-year deal. The Texans were desperate for a quarterback and Osweiler had shown promise in Denver, despite being nudged aside in favor of Peyton ...
