well they have the cap, but don't have the quarterback so this tells us one thing they are trying to impress some free agent QB to come and believe in Cleveland...

Any word on what the picks are.
I know Miami was asking a 3 rd or 4th for Landry.
What's Allen Robinson going to fetch next? I know he's coming off injury but F ree agency is looking more expensive than usual

Possibly. The Browns haven’t been mentioned as one of the final four teams for Cousins, but you never know. ‘‘Tis the season of smokescreens and lies from agents and media trying to create storylines.

But there’s no doubt that Cleveland will land a pretty good QB in this draft, at the very least. They need to get him some weapons, and Landry is highly productive. Good trade for them if all they gave up was a few middle round picks. Usually a tagged player of this caliber nets a 1st or 2nd round pick.

Cleveland making moves knowing free agents want the money but don't want to be a apart of the Browns organization...

Buffalo loading up to trade up in the draft.

Sure looks that way. I don’t think Nathan Peterman is the answer. I’ll bet the Bills are gonna try to move up past the Broncos and Jets for a QB.

If we lose out on Cousins, and then get jumped by the Bills for a QB... oh man I can’t even stomach it.

Salary related? Maybe they just didn’t want to pay him? I don’t know why teams unload very good players for measly 4th and 7th round picks. The Dolphins got very little in return for a good player.

Thanks Miami. Keep making dumb trades like this.

Exactly why. The Fins are in Cap hell and had to trade him. Even after moving him, they are close to $4 million over the cap so they still have to free up at least $10-11 more to get under and sign draft picks.
They gambled that Parker would supplant Landry and didn't negotiate a long term deal earlier so they had no choice now but to let him walk or trade him.

The Bills are also freeing up cap space. Could they make a run at Cousins? They have 2picks in round 1,2,&3 and a likely trade partner in the Browns so a trade up to 4 or even 1 is very possible.

I don't see the Jets standing still. Honestly, I think the most likely moves are either:

1. Sign McCarron and draft a QB in a later round (Rudolph in the second?), or
2. Trade for Foles.

Cousins would want a mint from the Jets, and want them to overpay.

with the trade of Landry the Dolphins are $7,896,828 under cap, expect them to restructure one or two contacts to free up more cash... this is Tanny he knows how to finagle contract terms... if they do indeed part ways with Suh they will have just under $25 M to play with...

Remember the trade for Robert Quinn isn't on the books. So add $11.5 million .
Suh has over 22 million dead money so cutting him doesn't save much this year, a June 1St. designation drops it to around $9 mill in dead money. That would leave them around $20 million but would also keepp them out of the earlier FA market.

otc:

most likely the dolphins will look to also rework quinn’s contract which has two years remaining. There are two options for that. One is a straight line extension which could be pricey but help lower his cap charge this season. Though quinn has not been as effective the last few years as he was in his prime the $10m+ extensions signed by 3[sup]rd[/sup] contract rushers in the last year plus the dolphins tendency to go high on extensions could make that a bad deal long term.

The dolphins could also work out something with ryan tannehill for cap room.

either way I don't give a shit about whether the Dolphins will be able to stay under the cap or be involved in FA... lol just wondering when we will here something exciting for our long ass rebuild to start taking shape...

Jarvis Landry (25 years old) reminds me of Anquan Boldin in his prime.

This trade is the football equivalent of the Lufthansa heist.

Congrats to Cleveland management for stealing Miami's launch money and making them do your homework too.

Sack, I don't think the Jets are going to trade for Foles. Philly wants too much for him. McCarron - maybe. I'm not a fan personally. The rumors are he is Jay Cutler type. He's ok, middle of the pack guy. I think I'd prefer Keenam over him. I think it's clear that the Jets need to go make sure they get the guy they want in the draft if we lose out on Cousins, which I think we will.
