The Buccaneers weren’t the only team that tried (and failed) to trade for Rams edge rusher Robert Quinn. The Browns also attempted to land Quinn, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, but both Tampa Bay and Cleveland ultimately lost out to the Dolphins, who acquired the veteran defensive end last week.
The Browns own the most draft capital of any club in the NFL, so they likely could have topped any offer made by the Dolphins. Cleveland owns nine picks inside the top 150, while Miami sent fourth- and sixth-round picks to Los Angeles in exchange for Quinn and a sixth-rounder. However, the Browns only offered a fifth-round selection, tweets Laine.
Cleveland, notably, also possesses the most cap space in the league, meaning it could easily fit the remainder of Quinn’s contract on its books. Quinn, 27, is due roughly $24.377MM over the next two seasons.
In 2017, the Browns 17th in adjusted sack rate, 21st in sacks, and 23rd in pressure rate, and while Myles Garrett clearly fills one defensive end spot, Quinn would have joined a Cleveland edge rushing group that also includes Emmanuel Ogbah, Carl Nassib, and Nate Orchard. As he will with the Dolphins (and would’ve with the Buccaneers), Quinn will now shift back to a 4-3 scheme after spending last with the Rams in a 3-4 front.
Do they really try or are they just throwing offers to make it appear that they are trying? Cause with their draft picks they should be able to acquire whoever they want.
So because they have a bunch of high picks they should overspend for somebody they have interest in? Sometimes when you’re sitting on a bunch of high end stuff they can’t get past that to negotiate the mid-round pick he’s worth.
When you’re 1-31 the last 2 years, and you’re the team no one wants to play for….YES, you do.
The browns sure do “try” to acquire a lot of players only to end up not getting the player.
It takes two teams to agree to a trade
Well , what happens is they try … then said player privately threatens to retire if it goes through so it never happens.
Nate Orchard? Never amounted to anything.
Tried mccarron: failed. Tried Quinn: failed. More than likely going to try on Cousins and will fail. Whiffed in Watson, whiffed on others. I mean how first round chances are these guys gonna get? They whiff every time, and yet we still keep giving them chances because of the of how the Rules of drafts work. Need to start penalizing for missing so many times. Someone else could have used that pick wisely. Nobody wants to play for this team so sell the team already call it a day.
What a friggin moron. “Whiffed in Watson”? Whiffed on others? Try making up some more crap sentences to prove your crap point. Your entire post just made the whole world a little dumber. What an idiot!
Coach Ego was quoted as saying he wanted Wentz and he wanted Watson, sounds like a whiff to me. If a 1-31 coach opens his mouth in the forest , does it make a noise?
Teams do mess up on draft picks. Every single GM in every single sport has whiffed on a draft pick.
