  • Colts Trade for Brown's Richardson

    In a bold and surprising move, the Colts announced Wednesday the acquisition of Browns running back Trent Richardson for a 2014 first-round pick.


    Richardson to Colts for Colt's 2014 first round pick. Browns now stocked with five picks in first 3 rounds of 2014 to draft Johnny Manziel.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Sorry Joe, jumped your post in Week 2 Aftermath.

    But since I am here, should have read that Browns now have 7 picks in first four rounds (2,1,2,2)

      I'll post what I did over there...

      *mind blown*

      A season and 2 games, pretty fast to give up a guy drafted #3 overall who wasn't a total washout.

      Interesting that this even can happen. It's a result of the rookie salary cap, before the changes teams were pretty much stuck with their picks unless they wanted to eat a huge cap hit. They'll still eat a chunk, his signing bonus should've been close to $15mil.

        desperation from the colts. first round pick for a guy with a 3.5 yard average?

        and for the browns, what the hell do they have now to keep their fans coming in this season?

          Richardson might still be ok, he'll have a lot more room to run with Luck as his QB. He did get 950 yards last season, apparently with broken ribs. Which makes me think...if the Browns are looking to get rid of some draft picks that didn't work out, wouldn't their other 2012 first rounder have been a better choice? Of course, all they probably would've gotten for him was a 5th or 6th rounder pick.

            A really good read about what happens in the Draft War Room of an NFL team on Day 1. Its from this past draft so someone might have posted it already and I just missed it. Covers the Browns options with the #6 pick.

              They tell them, "You're gonna love Clowney!"
              I can't run no more

              While the killers in high places
              Say their prayers out loud
              But they've summoned, they've summoned up
              A thundercloud

                  I was listening to this fan call in the local radio station, and he sounded tired, just plain tired. With a heavy voice, deliberate and thick like a wafting gas just bubbled up from the mississippi mudflats, he relates the story of the serengeti, where a male lion, when it establishes it's Pride by defeating the previous male lion, will kill all the cubs. He says that Lombardi (the GM) is killing the Holmgren cubs and we gotta start all over again. Then he hung up. The announcers need to use caller ID and call the suicide hotline for that guy, especially since the next guy calls up and reminds everyone that it's been a total of 160 seasons since one of the three major franchises in Cleveland last won a championship. The silence from the hosts of the show was gut wrenching.

                    What a mess. Cleveland.com reporting Weeden may never get his starting job back (per the Browns). Jason Campbell or Brian Hoyer are your choices. As if living in the armpit of Ohio wasn't bad enough, you have the perpetual building for the future, PLUS an owner who may face federal prison time. Cleveland has a good defense but a horrific offense. Heck if they're in a fire sale mood, I'd trade a draft pick or two for Joe Thomas!

                      I believe he is still in the last year of his original contract so it would be a one year rental. While Joe would be a god send to us, what would he cost? I was gunning for Eric Winston at RT and he would have cost about 4 mil per season,

                        Thomas is signed for the useful years of his career. In 2011 he signed a seven year extension added to the one remaining year at the time. He is signed through 2018. Details of the contract:

                        7 years, $84 million of new money,$44 million was guaranteed.

                        Remaining payments:
                        $200,000 workout bonus in each year through 2018
                        $1 million roster bonus in each year of 2016-18.
                        Remaining salaries: 2013-2018 are $10 million, $10.9 million, $8.8 million, $8.3 million, $8.8 million & $8.8 million.

                          Joe Thomas' performance has slipped.

                          Overheard on Cleveland radio (KNR AM 850): The announcer (prob Greg Brenda) is reading through the Plain Dealer (local newspaper) obituaries and pointing out all the people who died today that NEVER, NEVER got to see Cleveland win a Championship. Gotta love Cleveland! They have negativity the likes even Green Bay in the 70s and 80s never knew.

                            If those are his numbers, should we assume he will be a cap casualty next year, if his production has slipped?

                              only 6 million of it was a signing bonus, and i have no clue how the get 44 million guaranteed from

                              he counts 12.3 million next season, and if traded, the browns would only get hit with a 2.4 million dollar hit

                              they might just cut hit. why pay that much money every year to protect shit?
