i made fun of this when i thought Vince Young's agent was using the Saskatchewan Roughriders as a way to create fake demand.
welp, Young is signing with the "green riders". he'll be battling everyone's favourite mobile veteran QB Kevin Glenn for the starting job. some people are still saying its a publicity stunt.

HAHAH
er... I mean what a strange deal...

I don't think its a bad move by the Browns, they are essentially using their enormous cap space to get high picks and its a good draft for 2nd and 3rd round talent. They may even release Osweiler (whatever the spelling is).

Whatever the reasoning behind it just assume that it's the Browns and it's bad.

I think the Texans-Browns deal is illegal. You can't just pay for draft picks

I read this is a more common thing you see in the NBA but don't follow it closely enough to know for sure

When you can pay a 2nd and 6th to get a 4th, who wouldn't!

I could be wrong because while I think this kind of deal is not allowed by NBA rules, it's allowed by NFL rules. Basically, it's a team giving up better draft picks in exchange for another team taking a bad contract away from them. In the NBA, at least back when I followed more closely, a team that is under the cap can take much more salary than they traded out. If it is above the cap, the salaries need to be within something like 8% of each other. I think the NFL has different rules and these types of trades are more common.

Even teams below the cap have to salary match to some extent. The analogy is that sometimes there are "expiring contracts" that will be off the books sooner than the albatross contract. So, say Osweiler was on a $100/5 years fully guaranteed, you trade him and a pick to a team for guys on 1 year deals totalling about $20
