CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Sucks to lose a starter like Zeitler but Vernon is a great pick up. Hopefully Corbett or whoever steps up. It hurt Miami when he left for sure. he is owed 15 Mil the next 2 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren15 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 We are also looking at Guard Rodger Saffold ex Rams to maybe play in Zeitlers position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren15 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 #Giants get: G Kevin Zeitler and 5th-rd pick (155) #Browns get: DE Olivier Vernon and 4th-rd pick (132) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7moses7 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 That’s why Dorsey drafted Corbett knowing he’d be ready by year 2 so he’d be able to move Zeitler and his contract to fill a bigger need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren15 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 New #Browns LB Olivier Vernon is due $15.5 million each of the two remaining years on his deal. #Browns had about $77 million in cap space to work with entering today. Not a lot of edge help available in free agency, so this trade makes a lot of sense Meanwhile, Kevin Zeitler has 3 years left on his contract and is due $10 million in base salary in 2019. Trading him to the #Giants takes $5.2 million off the #Browns' cap this season, for a net increase of $10.3 million ... and they still have over $67 million to work with.

stillmotion Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not Sure how I feel about this. Zeitler was one of the best pass blockers in the league. Vernon is 28. What do you guys think? Can Corbett fill the role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren15 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 If we can get Rodger Saffold in FA that makes the deal a great one for us ....we upgrade the pass rush and get like for like on the O line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuNNerGatSKi Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Dorsey is a smart cookie. He has earned our trust 110 percent. No doubt he has a plan of attack in place and this is part of it. Excited to see this D get after the quarterback this coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuNNerGatSKi Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Maybe we can also grab the newly cut Malik Jackson as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runyon27 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 If Corbett can fill the void I think it can be a good deal for both sides. On the surface, this looks more like a win for the Giants than for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Zietler and Bito pair to form one of the best pass pro interiors in the NFL. Vernon is on the downside of his career. Not feeling this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has another big payday after these 2 years. And it probably won’t be as a Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
