Newsome being on the last year of his rookie deal makes his trade value less. It leaves the team who acquires him to get him on a one year rental before having to face negotiating a new contract. And as was mentioned in another thread we have heard about him being traded for quite some time now. My guess is if they found an offer of what they determine to be good value he would have been gone by now. But hey, who knows?

That is a very good point.

I am ready for Okoronkwo to go
He may be the worst tackler on the team
That includes our Kicker and Punter

My prediction is that Newsome gets moved as a trade sweetener.

I don't rule out anything as being a possibility. It's simply that his value would be greater if he had more than one year left on his contract.

Agreed...and would also have more value if he played like the 1st Rd pick that he is.

The problem with trading Newsome is his $13.77M guaranteed contract. That's why the sport guru's are saying that he's only worth a 5th or 6th round pick even though he was a 1st round draft pick. He lost his job to Emerson and has struggled in the slot. Trade partners are hedging on paying $13,77M to a player in his final contract year who has struggled on the field the last 2 seasons. If the Browns eat part of the salary, they'll be able to easily move him - I don't believe Berry has the cash to do that so Newsome will probably stay through his final contract year here much like Wills.

Yes, both things are true.

They are both expendable in my opinion. Don't know what happened last season as my prior opinion of both was quite favourable...

No doubt the last year makes it less valuable, but it could have it's most value on draft night. He could become a trade up asset, but like you said, who knows? Only time will tell.

j/c…

Ken Carman said earlier today he’s heard rumblings of Chubb going to an AFC North team.

I will be so pissed if Chubb signs with ANY AFCN team other than the Browns.

Oops. My bad! I meant to type NFCN.

Gag.

That makes me fell better but still don't want to see him go.

Eww.

Berry can't help bringing in these trash reclamation projects.

On his 5th team in 4 years . What can he possibly give to
This offense? You need 8 yards for 1st down.. he will give you 5.
Another WR in a long line of Browns WRs who barely merit average

I don't mind the signing. Who else was out there? Anybody we sign at this point is just an average player. In addition, we do have some salary limitations.

Personally, I'm not a fan of bringing a guy into the locker room who threw one of the QBs under the bus while they were teammates and also refused to go in a game while playing with Ravens and then they subsequently cut this team cancer.
