Personally, I think the move is more genius than it is idiotic. They have cap space to burn (and a minimum floor to spend), and they get a round 2 draft pick out of it. Regardless of what they do with that pick, they added two kinds of value: eating up cap space and adding a draft pick.
Very outside the box, but bold.
I wonder if the Browns are actually going to not be the Browns for long. Who will be the new Browns? The Jets?
