since last year" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTPeople are still talking about the Odell Beckham Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey , Jr. trade from the New York Football Giants to the Cleveland Browns like the subject was the best gift they ever received on a cold Christmas morning. According to Pat McManamon of ESPN, the trade happened rather quickly. We’ve heard about some of the details regarding Cleveland and New York from Peter King, but McManamon adds in some more context, including the involvement of the San Francisco 49ers.Browns‘ GM John Dorsey and Giants’ GM Dave Gettleman have known each other since 1982 and developed a good friendship. Last spring at the NFL owner’s meeting, Gettleman stated that OBJ was available for trade for two first-round draft picks. Dorsey was intrigued, but the price was too high. The Browns have tried to upgrade the WR position after finally giving up on Josh Gordon and traded for Jarvis Landry, signed free agent Breshad Perriman, drafted Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley, and even looked at former Cowboys’ star Dez Bryant. Even though Gettleman and Dorsey had trade discussions about Cleveland getting pass-rusher Olivier Vernon, OBJ did not come up. According to McManamon’s article, the OBJ trade talks did not commence until Dorsey heard another club was in talks with the Giants about a possible trade for the talented receiver. The date was March 12 https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey , the day before the official free agent period began. The San Francisco 49ers were in active trade talks about obtaining OBJ, and had made it known they wanted him as far back as the combine. 49ers’ GM John Lynch had several conversations with Gettleman from the period of the combine to the middle of March. The Niners own the number two overall pick while the Giants have the sixth overall selection. Lynch offered to swap first-round picks. Gettleman countered with the 49ers also trading DT DeForest Buckner who had made the Pro Bowl last year and was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team after being taken in the first-round in 2016. Lynch nixed losing Buckner, but still wanted to work out a trade. Instead of swapping first-round picks, perhaps the 49ers second-round pick could be offered instead (which is the 36th pick). GM John Dorsey Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe morning of March 12, Dorsey got wind of the 49ers serious interest in OBJ and that trade talks were ongoing. He then called Gettleman to iron out some details regarding the Vernon trade. Dorsey did not know at what point the trade talks were regarding San Francisco and the Giants, but brought up Beckham after he finished the details on the Vernon for OG Kevin Zeitler swap. When questioned about the possibility of the Browns trading for OBJ, Gettleman’s response to Dorsey was “What do you got?“For the remainder of the day, calls went to and from Gettleman and Dorsey. It just happened that the Browns were in a staff meeting regarding free agency and discussing their plans. So when Gettleman would call, Dorsey would place him on speaker phone to where head coach Freddie Kitchens could hear the conversation. Gettleman began as he had asserted last spring his franchise wanted two first-round picks and with that the deal would be considered done. Dorsey countered with the Browns’ first-round pick at number 17 plus DE Emmanuel Ogbah, a former high second-round choice. Gettleman stated he wanted S Jabril Peppers since they lost their starting safety Landon Collins in free agency. He also stated he didn’t have an interest in Ogbah. Although Dorsey loved having Peppers as a roster member, he realized that one player was not going to stand in the way of getting a dynamic play-maker such as OBJ. Gettleman considered that with receiving the Browns first-round pick at number 17 plus Peppers Kevin Zeitler Jersey , a former first-round pick, that the Giants were indeed getting what they had always said they wanted – two first-round picks for Beckham. Early in the evening of March 12, after an all-day back and forth marathon between the duo GMs, the two clubs agreed. Gettleman had also wrangled away the Browns second third-round selection at number 95, a pick they had received in the Danny Shelton trade with the Patriots last spring. Now, all Gettleman had to do was convince the Giants’ owners Chairman Steve Tisch and President John Mara, to sign off on the deal. Tisch gave the green light whereas Mara had to think about it during his 40-minute commute home and then finally relented.What was unusual about the deal is how Gettleman did not call the 49ers once he received a firm offer from the Browns in order to encourage them to up the ante, or bring back the Niners best offer back to Dorsey with an attempt to make Cleveland improve their deal.In the NFL, they call that “trust.” CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns will get to show Gerald McCoy how far they’ve come.The free-agent defensive tackle, released earlier this week by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will visit Cleveland on Friday. General manager John Dorsey said the meeting will be an opportunity for both sides to see if they want a future together.“It’s a chance for us to kind of get a chance to meet each other one on one Joel Bitonio Color Rush Jersey , and let’s find out who Gerald is,” Dorsey said Thursday during a downtown celebration for Cleveland’s selection by the NFL to host the 2021 draft. “It also gives Gerald a chance to see who the Cleveland Browns are and what direction we’re headed.”A six-time Pro Bowler, McCoy was let go after the Bucs couldn’t find a trade partner willing to take on his $13 million salary. They agreed to terms with Ndamukong Suh to take his spot.Several other teams have expressed interest in McCoy, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 draft. The 31-year-old had a down year — by his standards — in 2018, but Dorsey believes McCoy isn’t close to being finished.“With regards to his ability to play the game of football, he can still play the game of football,” Dorsey said.Dorsey downplayed the significance of McCoy agreeing to meet with the Browns, who have major expectations in 2019 following an offseason in which the team added star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, and edge rusher Olivier Vernon.“We’re going to turn over every rock and let’s just see what happens,” Dorsey said. “I mean https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Terrance-Mitchell-Jersey , it’s just a visit.”But the idea of adding McCoy to a defensive line rotation that already includes Pro Bowler Myles Garrett, Richardson, Vernon and Larry Ogunjobi, has Browns fans even more excited.McCoy had six sacks in 14 games last season and has 54 ½ in 123 career games.During his visit, he’ll get to meet new Cleveland coach Freddie Kitchens as well as coordinator Steve Wilks. He’s already familiar with Browns offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who spent three seasons in Tampa and speaks highly of McCoy.“I think a lot of Gerald,” Monken said following Wednesday’s practice. “Gerald has had a tremendous career and was an outstanding football player for us. He’s a great person.”
