Stephen Jones on trading deadline: Open to things, but its got to be the right fit

[Jinxx13x]

Supposedly has turned down 11m from the Pats, it would cost 15m to franchise tag. Ain't happening.

well he's a brown of course its not happening ! But it was nice to dream for a minute !

 

[Jinxx13x]

Apparantly he turned down an $11 million a year offer from the Pats. That was a major reason for the trade. He's good, but not worth that kind of money.

The Browns have $50+ million in cap space, so it's likely he will re-up with them.

why would anyone re-up for the browns only reason would be if no one else wants ya LOL

 

[Jinxx13x]

Man Lee, Collins, and durant would have made a decent core group

then add smith next year Oh well we can dream LOL

Jamie Collins would have been a nice fit

 

[dallasdave]

Patriots have made 21 trades involving veteran players since 2014

They know how to win.

The Browns have a little bit of insurance baked into the Collins trade. If he refuses to sign a long term deal with them and commands top dollar on the market, then they probably get a 3rd round compensatory pick the following year (assuming they don't sign an unrestricted free agent to offset the loss). So they are risking a late 3rd rounder this spring for one the following year.

[dallasdave]

Have you seen him play, he does lots of things very well, sideline to side speed, can cover TE, he is a very solid player, not sure about the Von miller money maybe he does want that. Make no mistake he is a very good player sacks don't tell you everything
