Browns get a second round pick and Brock Osweiler from the Texans

Mar 09, 2017

How big a mistake did the Texans make when they signed Brock Osweiler last year? So big that they’re giving up a second-round draft pick to get out from under his contract.

Osweiler is being shipped to Cleveland, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The compensation? The Texans have to give the Browns a 2018 second-round draft pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick. The Browns ship a 2017 fourth-round pick to Houston.

That’s right, the Texans are trading Osweiler away and giving up better draft picks than they’re getting back, just to get the Browns to take Osweiler’s contract off their hands.

Fantasy Impact:

Essentially, the Browns are taking on Osweiler's contract to get a second round pick from the Texans. Rumor has it, they may cut him after the trade. Meanwhile, the Texans clear enough cap space to make a run at Tony Romo.

The #Jaguars are planning to sign QB-turned-TE Tim Tebow to a 1-year deal, per me and @TomPelissero, a deal that could be official in the next week or so. Nothing done yet. But he’ll have a chance to make the team to reunite with his mentor and college head coach Urban Meyer.

Fantasy Impact:

Tim Tebow hasn't played in a regular-season game in nine seasons and will be changing positions from QB to TE in 2021. If Tebow does make the final roster, there is little competition at the TE position in Jacksonville.

Former Lions' 2nd-round pick Kerryon Johnson was claimed on waivers today by the Eagles, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus.

Fantasy Impact:

The Philly RB room is starting to get a bit crowded, with Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Jordan Howard and rookie Kenny Gainwell already in the mix. Kerryon Johnson will fight for a roster spot in this new-look offense.
