Calling all armchair GMs.... MARK?


I'm feeling lazy, so I'm not going to look any of this up. However, I do know that the Broncos gave Osweiler an atrocious contract years ago. It was so bad that no one would trade for it in their right mind.... or would they. The Browns (I believe) had a ton of cap space and could absorb the contract. The Broncos gave Osweiler and a highish draft pick (3rd?) to the Browns in exchange for a 7th or something (maybe a player too).

The trade was a total sham. The Broncos basically gave the Browns a 3rd? rd pick for cap space in order to get rid of this horrid contract and player. The Browns didn't have to shell out cash, it was just an accounting entry in which they absorbed the cap hit for the horrid contract. They kept him through camp and cut him shortly thereafter.

So, you knowledgeable DN GMs, could the Viks do this with Cousins if they were to suck so bad this year that they can draft one of the highly touted QBs in the 2021 draft?
