WR Alshon Jeffery just called me directly and said it is a "done deal" that he will go to the #Eagles

Phew.

WR Alshon Jeffery is a 1-year deal for $14M to #Eagles.


Actually, that wouldn't have been terrible.

The one thing I noticed is that almost 1/2 his punts in 2016 were downed inside the 20.

But other than that? Yeah, I got nothing.

Glad we have a punter.

The move clears out millions in salary-cap space for Houston to intensify efforts to sign former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, per sources. To be exact, Houston saves $16 million in cash and $10 million against their cap this season. The Texans also will get the Browns’ fourth-round pick this year in exchange for their own 6th-round pick. So Cleveland gets Osweiler’s contract, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick, and Houston gets Cleveland’s 2017 fourth-round pick, saves $10 million in salary-cap space and $16 million in cash. Cleveland is not committed to keeping Osweiler and is likely to try to trade him, per sources. If so, it would turn into a basketball-like trade in which NBA teams routinely trade contracts to get them off their books; only it rarely, if ever, happens in the NFL. It’s hard to remember in the salary-cap era another team when a team traded a contract to get it off its books. But Houston was so anxious to rid itself of Osweiler and move on to its next quarterbacking chapter that it is giving Cleveland extra picks to take him and his contract. The Browns headed into this free-agent signing period with over $100 million worth of salary-cap space and would struggle to spend it all. Now they can devote some of it to Osweiler’s contract and acquiring extra draft picks from Houston. But this is one of the most, if not the most, creative trade in NFL history.

The Browns. F**king idiots. Why would they help the Texans like that?

I really dont want Romo in our division. He's a decent qb, and with their defense.....?

Not good.

Jeffery to the Eagles on 1 year, $14m deal.

Thank goodness.

They're apparently thinking about cutting Brock Lobster.

This looks like it was them spending $16M of cap space in exchange for a 2nd round pick.

I mean, I guess when you've got $100M, that's one way to spend $16M in cap space...

Buy a 2nd rounder essentially then pay him.

They can afford it.
