Stephon Gilmore to the Pats. I wonder how this will effect the ongoing Malcolm Butler negotiations.
ESPN says they're talking to the Saints about a trade for Cooks

So Jerruh is doing a 180 and will trade Romo instead.
You have to think it's to a team that Tony is okay with, either Denver or Houston.
While I thought that Denver was his best option, Grenouille is right, their O line needs work.

Houston would be better for him

I think Denver would be better overall...better offense, comparable defense...but could they keep him upright, with the likes of Khalil Mack, Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, and Joey Bosa gunning for him twice every season?
With Houston, he still stays in Texas and plays in a weak AFC South.

Texans just sent Osweiler to Cleveland...

ESPN reports that Cleveland is not committed to keeping him, and may trade him again, LOL.

You Are A Tooooooy!!!
Cleveland traded a 4th for Osweiler a 2nd and a 6th? Is that what I saw? DANG.... thats a great move by Cleveland.

Yup, Houston had to dump Osweiler's salary and Cleveland benefitted.

Brock must feel like total garbage now. THATS what you had to include just for somebody to take me.

Brock could be a good QB....in the CFL.
The Jaguars are quietly putting together a defense that looks great on paper. Putting it on the field and seeing results remain to be seen.

From ESPN:
"Osweiler is due $16 million guaranteed in salary this season. Houston didn't want to pay it; the Texans wanted to pursue Tony Romo.
The Browns had the cap room to take that salary.
So Cleveland took Osweiler and his guaranteed money, and because they did Houston a favor, the Browns also received the Texans' second-round draft pick in 2018.
The Browns will make a decision soon on Osweiler's future, but he does not figure to stay in Cleveland. The Browns will be responsible for paying the $16 million, but the team started free agency with just more than $100 million in salary-cap room. Accounting for an additional $16 million is not difficult under the cap, though it is a significant cash cost.
To make the deal work -- the Browns couldn't just take Osweiler and a second-round pick and give up nothing -- the teams also exchanged 2017 draft picks. Houston gets a fourth, Cleveland a sixth.
In essence, the Browns did the Texans a solid by taking Osweiler's salary, and the Texans showed their thanks with the second-round pick. Between 2016, '17 and '18, the Browns will have 10 first- and second-round picks.
The Browns essentially bought a second-round draft pick for $16 million, and acquired a quarterback they can evaluate or perhaps even trade -- and likely reduce the cash obligation in a trade."

Must be nice to have 16$ million to throw away...Cleveland will still suck
Hope whoever they draft works out

Chicago signed Mike Glennon to a pretty big contract yesterday. They still might draft a QB, though.
