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

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.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
