He'll never play a down in Cleveland.  This was an NBA salary move.  Browns have to pay a minimal amount.  Now they can easily reach the league minimum without reaching for FA's.  They can sign the ones they really want and still draft for the future.  Ostrich's contract expires at the end of the year and it's instance cap space for them to make bigger moves next year.  They get several draft picks out of it, and Houston gets rid of a QB that isn't even NFL backup quality. 

The Houston sports radio guys think it's a brilliant move for both sides and are especially impressed with this move from the Browns perspective.
