"OBJ and Kareem Hunt are Available." -Captain Obvious-

No offense to MKC, but the Browns tendered Kareem Hunt in order to make sure that if they lost him, they could get a 2nd round pick for him.

They paid up for Austin Hooper and signed fullback Janovich.  Kareem Hunt is now more valuable to the Browns as an asset they can convert than as a player.

While if he remains on the roster, they will of course find ways to exploit his talent, they would essentially be renting him for one season and then letting him walk for nothing.

So in answer to the guy who asked Mary Kay if the Browns would consider trading Kareem Hunt on draft day, the corrected answer is obviously yes.

Ellis L Williams is often fulla beans, but is correct that the new Browns are playing chess, while MKC thinks they're playing checkers.

If you think that OBJ is untouchable, Olivier Vernon at his current salary is a viable option, and Kareem Hunt will not be traded, you are playing checkers.

While the 2020 Browns have a good chance to contend (and are no longer in rebuild mode), they aren't where they need to be yet.

They have balloon payments coming up on a boatload of talent, and the only way to build a sustainable winner is through the draft.  They will take every opportunity to get more high draft picks.

Jeez I feel like Captain Obvious here!

Pete Smith states the obvious too: Trading for Trent Williams would be stupid.

And who told this writer in New England that the Browns seem to have "moved on" from Njoku?

Freddie Kitchens had a Dog House the size of San Quentin, and Njoku was one of the inmates.  2 of the 3 other players Dudukovich mentions were drafted by the previous Front Office HMMMM...

Was it Kitchens' Doghouse, or Dorsey's?

Anyway there are new guys here now, so quit assuming...I give up...
