The Browns have to spend to reach the cap floor this year, so instead of wasting money on a FA signing we'd all bash them for making they'll spent it on a 2nd round pick.  This is assuming they just release Brock-O and eat the entire contract, but they could offset the cost by sending him elsewhere.  Makes sense to me.

On top of that, they paid Zeitler way more than they let Mack walk to Atlanta for last season.

Yeah...pure genius.

See?  The Browns are forced by league rules to spend money and apparently spending it on free agents is stupid, but outright buying draft picks is stupid too.  I'm not saying the Browns are ever going to be good, but they are  1-15 team that is forced to do all manner of crazy stuff in order to TRY to build something.

I can't really bash them setting Zeitler because I know if we took one of the few guys keeping Pig Ben from getting his head caved in from the Steelers we'd all be yucking it up.
