We missed out on easy opportunity

[Longboysfan]

no, if you said the texans can waive Osweiler before salary guarantees, why do this?

I have no idea why the Texans did the trade.

When the dust settles in a few days we will find out.

i am not even going to argue with you on the model now.

this is an easy move that could have netted a 2nd round pick.

houston traded osweiller for a 2018 2nd and 2017 6th for a 2017 4th.
osweiller costs $16M in base salary and $3M in cap hit from signing bonus.
we could have easily cleared up $13M from restructuring dez and tcrawford.
should be able to scrap up another $6m in cap space from other contracts.
we would have a backup qb and a 2018 2nd round pick...

 

[waldoputty]

i am being serious.
open up your mind just a little.

RG3 is due a roster bonus on March 11th and it looks like the Browns will probably cut him too.

Personally, I'd rather have RG3 as our backup than McCown.

You missed the joke.

Why on earth would anyone want Osweiler? Texans just paid the Browns to take him off their hands.

a 2nd round pick is worth $16m in cap space since we can open it up.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Agreed.

Add a bag of chips to that scenario.

 

[waldoputty]

Agreed.

Add a bag of chips to that scenario.

now i see why people cannot understand the cap game...

 

[MRV52]

Tell me it was only a dream, Brock to the Cowboys. Wait that wasn't a dream, that was a nightmare.

 

[MRV52]

Agreed.

I will agree that you agree.

Didnt they give up 10 mil cap and a 4th for that 2018 2nd?

 

[rambo2]

I have no idea why the Texans did the trade.

They did it to get rid of that crappy qb and open up money for Romo.
