Browns will pay Osweiler nearly $900K to start for Broncos

The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation is by now well-known. Owners of an 0-8 record, players at that position have combined for 17 interceptions on the season. The team also failed miserably in an attempt to trade for A.J. McCarron while also missing out on Jimmy Garoppolo prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline.
This comes after Cleveland received a second-round pick from Houston to take on Brock Osweiler’s four-year, $72 million deal, only to release him prior to the start of the season.


Now with the Broncos, Osweiler will start this upcoming week against the Philadelphia Eagles. He’ll also be paid $895,588 from the Browns for the start.

This rings true for every subsequent time Osweiler starts for Denver throughout the remainder of the season. Osweiler’s contract was already known, as was Cleveland picking up said deal from Houston. Still, it’s yet another example of the Factory of Sadness coming into play.


How fun.

Good value :nohead:

Jeez, he's laughing all the way to the bank...

would be Great if he had to Start Against the Browns one day . LOL

talk about a Kick in the @ss :hahahahah

I should fix my post....its actually good value for Denver since its costing them NOTHING!!

Awful value for Cleveland.

They're entire front office must be doing blow in the bathroom.

Cleveland made the right move here. They got a 2nd rd pick for taking Osweiller's contract and they were rebuilding anyway.

They knew they weren't going to be good this year so why waste $ on free agents? Just take that contract off Houston's hands and get a very valuable pick for it. More teams should do this when they are in rebuilding years.
