Browns release Brock Osweiler

[Nightman]

The Browns are $60 million under the cap this year, and the Osweiler contract includes no dead money past this year, so it's actually pretty painless for them.

except for the 16m in cash part

What does this say about Paxton Lynch?

Good question.

He is easily worth $17 million to get rid of.

The unintended consequence of a hard salary floor. Prices get inflated and teams are more willing take "bad" deals since it counts towards the floor

That is ridiculous...... no one is worth paying 16m to cut

and Lynch is injured for at least 5 weeks

He got injured week 3 of preseason and is out around 6 weeks.

Relax it was only a joke.

Cash that's wiped off the books next year and wasn't going to make them a contender this year anyway. And cash that they have to pay one way or another toward satisfying the CBA requirements. This move doesn't hurt the Browns at all.

That is 16m they could have used on a player that you know might actually help you win.......duh

What makes you think they want to win more games this year (or that winning more games this year would be good for them in any way)?

Cool story..... i'm sure those 53 guys want to lose every week

Huh? Not one of those 53 guys had any part in any of the roster decisions involving Osweiler. Of course they want to win. But that's completely irrelevant to this discussion.

Lol all they did was bail the texans out and take a huge hit. Team is ran great

The person making the deals is great.

The person drafting the players??????
