From bad to worse: The Browns now have gone from torturing us to taunting us.
They are saying, “We can be as bad as we want to be. And the more you complain about it, we’re going to be even badder. Just watch.”
How else to explain the latest chapters in their book How To Drive a Football Franchise Into The Ground?
You want Carson Wentz? Naw, we’re going to trade that pick.
You want Deshaun Watson? Nope, we’re going to trade that pick.
What do you think of Brock Osweiler? Too bad, we’re trading for him.
Those three transactions alone would constitute fireable offenses with most reputable organizations. But in the span of 24 hours, the Browns actually out-did themselves with two more demonstrations of incomprehensible incompetence.
First, they were asleep at the switch when Bill Belichick, in a rare state of desperation, finally made Jimmy Garoppolo available in trade and the Browns watched him dealt to the San Francisco 49ers for the discount price of a second-round pick.
Then they over-reacted and agreed to a ridiculous price for Cincinnati’s AJ McCarron – second- and third-round picks -- only to botch that trade by missing the league deadline for signed paperwork.
“It’s like setting up for a game-winning field goal, and you let the clock run down to five, four, three … and then you call timeout after the clock runs out,” said a league source familiar with what happened.
