Why Osweiler likely won't be in Cleveland for long

For the Browns, this trade was about the 2018 second-round pick. The Browns took Brock Osweiler from Houston because it has the cap space. The Browns will assess his future in the not-too-distant future. It would be shocking if he's the team's QB in 2017 — though the Browns could take a $16 million gamble and see what happens.

Pats eyeing a Butler-for-Cooks trade?
Mike Reiss examines why the Patriots would want to swap CB Malcolm Butler for Saints WR Brandin Cooks.
0:55
NFL
On the surface, a potential trade of WR Brandin Cooks for Patriots CB Malcolm Butler would make a ton of sense for the Saints. They're willing to sacrifice an offensive skill position player to improve the defense -- and Butler is another young, very talented player who would fill one of their biggest needs. The only drawback would be contract issues, since Butler is already a restricted free agent who will command top cornerback money. Cooks has one cheap year left on his rookie deal, then a team option for about $8-8.5 million in 2018.
