I wouldn't be surprised if Cam was the one who reached out requesting this. It's completely obvious we aren't going to compete, whether that's by intention or incompetence I'm not sure. I'm leaning toward the latter after watching us sign two bottom of the roster type guys for real money yesterday.

Yep, but all the Cam fans said he was willing to play out his last year at way below market rates. Even if he was playing for the next deal, why would you do it here? I’m not shocked at all that he is seeking a trade. I would have as well in his position.

This news really shouldn't be all that surprising though. I'm thinking Cam's camp came to realize (holy alliteration) playing on a one year deal is not really in Cam's best interests.

Maybe we can trade him to Houston. I bet B.O.B. would flip Watson for Newton somehow.

Rookie QBs are such a crapshoot and going from Cam to Bridgewater is insane.  We are about to be the Browns south

The Texans are Browns South. We are Texans East.

Playing on a one year deal in a dumpster fire certainly isn't.

I think Cam orchestrating this could net us more in return as he could find the right group that wants him.  We're lookinh at Vegas or Chicago.  Broncos are in love with Lock.  Steelers and Lions are sleepers but have Ben and Matt's contracts. 

Pick 19 for Cam and our 4th.

I hope he goes to the Pats and shoves multiple championships in our face for years to come.

we will trade him to the patriots for a 4th round pick and he's going to win a super bowl year one lol

We don't seem to have any desire to compete, so might as well let Cam go find an opportunity to do just that.

Lmao

If he leaves and looks like he did at the beginning of last year, this will be a genius move.

This is honestly expected and good news - Cam is either injury prone or a poor passer.  Either way he has not been productive enough to be worth the money he is owed or would get soon.  Why invest during a rebuild?  We have already let Bradberry, Super Mario, Poe, Turner go....regardles of the way or reason we have yet to try and replace with similar talent.  Even if Cam comes back and performs it would be wasted with the mediocrity around him.

Let him seek a trade - it gets us younger, saves us $$, and may even yield a better player(s) in return.  It is better than wasting another year and watching him walk in free agency where we get nothing and still suck.
