Eight biggest surprises thus far in NFL free agency

Cleveland continues to embarrass itself by trading for Brock Osweiler

Why? Haven’t Browns fans had enough misery over the past couple of decades when it comes to their quarterbacks?

Apparently not, because the powers at be in Cleveland shockingly decided to trade for Osweiler and his $16 million salary in 2017. Osweiler was the biggest free agency dud signing of 2016. He was bad to the bone on so many levels in Houston, completing 59 percent of his passes while throwing only 15 touchdowns with 16 interceptions.

The only upside here is the Browns also received a 2018 second-round pick from the Texans. Cleveland could potentially shop out Osweiler in yet another trade. But what team would want him and his ridiculous salary?

The Browns currently have pick No. 1 and No. 12 in the upcoming NFL Draft, so a rookie quarterback could be in the plans. But as it stands now, Osweiler will compete with second-year quarterback Cody Kessler for the starting job over the summer. Swell.
