Loser: Kenny Britt, wide receiver, Cleveland Browns

In keeping with the receiver theme, Britt will have to move once again. This time it will be from southern California to Cleveland. That is already all kinds of depressing.

He also was just signed by a team that mind-blowingly traded for Brock Osweiler. It is too early to tell what Cleveland’s plans are for the embattled quarterback, but he could compete with second-year signal caller Cody Kessler for the starting job. Yippee.

If for some reason Osweiler winds up under center, he will likely shy away from throwing Britt’s way. This happened on several occasions when Osweiler played with DeAndre Hopkins in Houston.

At least when playing for the Rams last season, Britt achieved a career-high 111 targets and 1,002 yards. He may be hard pressed to accomplish this again in Clevelnd’s circus of a quarterback situation.

Sadly, Britt has moved from one losing team to even a worse one, where he is locked up for four long years. But hey, at least he got paid the green.
