Kind of depends on how the contract was structured. Did the $64 million offer include any guaranteed money and how much was based off of incentives?
Or was Denver's offer one of those four-year deals where the team can drop him without having to pay what's left on his contract whenever they feel like it?
In other industries a 4-year, $64 million deal might mean something... not so sure about the NFL.
I sure hope the Browns decide to trade back and accumilate more picks to replace all those lost players. Would be awesome if Denver could trade up to take Carson!
I don't see the Broncos trading up far enough to be able to take Carson.
While I agree with you on NFL contracts, the Denver Post had it at over $30 million in guarantees. Houston guaranteed $37 million.

No matter, I think it's to much for Brockweiler either way. I'm just saying, it still wasn't on the cheap.
I'm done...I'll try to stay away from this thread drift.
While I doubt they'd trade up high enough to guarentee being able to take him themselves in the draft. I could see a insta-post draft trade as a possibility. Except I have no idea who or what they'd trade.
They better not trade a f#cking Scramisaur. That's all I'm sayin'.

I'm not concerned they let some veterans go, or that a RT left after being offered a huge contract to stay. Nor am I concerned how it went down. The Browns weren't going to be over aggressive in FA, and I'm fine with that. They've gutted that franchise, and it's time to build from the ground up, and that's done finding diamonds in the rough in FA and most importantly the draft. Hue choose Cleveland while he was an interest in other coaching vacancy's. He obviously bought in to what is trying to be built there.
My biggest fear by far, is ownership not having the patience and pulling the plug. This is a three year minimum project. I'd hate to see Wentz go there and have three different coaches his first three years.
