Your “Bloody Hell Guys – Wait For The Actual Day” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Possibly because they don’t want their news to get lost in all the March Madness madness, events started unfolding quite quickly on the proposed trade front this weekend. Since 5:00ET Friday, in no particular order:

• the Browns acquired Jarvis Landry from the Dolphins, for picks
• the Bills traded Tyrod Taylor to the Browns, for picks
• the Browns traded DeShone Kizer to the Packers, for Damarious Randall
• the Browns traded DT Danny Shelton to the Patriots for a conditional pick

Which adds up to these hagiographic, yet laughable, ‘reimaginings’ of Sashi Brown’s time running the Browns, the Jets suddenly having the most cap space available ($92 million), this sober reminder of failures past,

For all the credit and praise going to Sashi Brown for salary cap space, draft picks #Browns GM John Dorsey is using, it must be remembered team wouldn't need to trade for QB, WR and CB if previous regime had done better job identifying and acquiring talent.

and this nugget:

When the Tyrod Taylor trade is official, the #Bills will hold five of the 2018 draft's first 65 picks.

Rd. 1, No. 21
Rd. 1, No. 22 (via #Chiefs)
Rd. 2, No. 53
Rd. 2, No. 56 (via #Rams)
Rd. 3, No. 65 (via #Browns)

And the Browns still have most of their upper-round picks. Dare I say, strategic?

Oh, and Sean McDonough has decided to quit the Monday Night booth & go back to college games. He’s being replaced by someone named Joe Tessitore.
