Damn thats a lot ... Seriously though- didnt they just sign bradford to like 18 Million, also signed Chase Daniels to like 7 million a year.. Are they trading one now?
Great trade by the Browns. They may not be done- they will likely trade Joe Thomas now, probably for picks in this draft.
Quite a haul. For Browns sake, they should hope this amounts to more than the 5 from Julio Jones trade. (NT Taylor, WR Little, RB Marecic, QB Weeden, RB TRich)
They must have been more unhappy with Bradford than thought. I reckon they will try to move Bradford to get some picks back, but they must be really attracted to Goff (or if the Rams take Goff, Wentz). I think they panicked and should have stayed and picked at Elliott where they were...
I guess it's in between. Apparently 4 million is guaranteed next year. http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2016/3/1/11143620
Couldn't move up? No Wouldn't move up? Yes. They could have if they really wanted to but they didn't want to. Sure, it would have been an extremely high price. *Not advocating that they should have done so.

Take a pick that high, and then sit him for 2 years? Not saying it couldn't happen (Rivers sat, but only because Brees went from bust to pro-bowler), but that won't happen. Most likely takes over for Bradford in season.

Sal Palantonio was virtually certain Eagles will pick Wentz and that they have likely talked with Rams and know Rams are taking Goff
