Packers to trade Damarious Randall to Browns for QB DeShone Kizer

The answer was “at least three or four”.

Miami’s passing attack in 2017 gave Landry a freakish stat line: 112 receptions to lead the league and break his own franchise record, but an average of 8.8 yards per catch to rank 110th.

Evans had 71 catches for 1,001 yards and five TDs in 2017, when the Bucs finished 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the 10th straight season. McCarthy stood by him, however, and the coach’s patience seemingly paid off as Randall bounced back and played well in the weeks that followed.

Miami will reportedly receive two draft picks – a fourth-rounder in the 2018 draft and a seventh-round pick in 2019 – for Landry, the first player to catch 400 passes over his first four National Football League seasons.

But just like with Taylor, Landry must be viewed in context of the Browns.

Landry made $894,000 past year, when he completed the contract he signed as a rookie. Landry and Josh Gordon will make a potent wide receiver duo. The position was already a big need this offseason. He will be a slot receiver. This was a really well-built team, except at quarterback. “If it’s the Browns, if it’s the Giants or whoever, I’m going to come in with my head low and ready to work”. Despite having 12 draft choices, the Rule of 51 – which dictates only the top 51 contracts count against a team’s salary cap – requires only $3 or $4 million to sign the incoming rookie class.

In exchange, the Browns shipped quarterback DeShone Kizer and swapped late-round picks with the Packers, gave the Dolphins a fourth-round pick this season and a seventh rounder in 2019 and sent the Bills the No. 65 overall pick in this year’s draft.

Yes, Randall was inconsistent with the Packers.

McCarthy wasn’t almost as supportive when he was asked about the mercurial Randall in his end-of-season press conference after Randall publicly criticized ex-defensive coordinator Dom Capers and he coaching staff at the end of a season in which Randall himself had his own issues. Was it a mistake to let Randall leave? It was clear the Browns had lost confidence in him.

NFL Network reported both sides are open to Sherman returning under a new contract if he can not find the right deal in free agency.

Shelton had some knee problems.

The Browns correctly believe they have young defensive tackles who can play just as well: Larry Ogunjobi, Caleb Brantley, Trevon Coley and Jamie Meder.

Saturday brought another trade for Cleveland that took fans by surprise. Among the biggest movers and shakers prior to free agency starting have been the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and the Cleveland Browns.
