So Browns get a 6th rounder this year for losing their 4th rounder this year AND get a future 2nd rounder (2018).
But what if they succeed in getting a 3 for Osweiler from someone after agreeing to take on some significant portion of his salary? (Can they do that?) And who would be so dumb as to give up a third for Osweiler, you ask? Well, if the Redskins end up giving in to Cousins' trade demand, they aren't known for placing a high value on draft picks.
