The Cleveland Browns improved their team by acquiring Odell Beckham, Jr., who is an odds-on threat to make the Hall of Fame, but for how long? Right now everyone is all smiles and pledging undying loyalty to one another, but there are reasons why it won’t last forever.
There can be no doubt that this was a stupid trade for New York in the short run. Good grief, why are the Giants paying $16 million in salary cap charges in order that the Browns can acquire this player? But just because it is stupid for New York does not necessarily mean that it is a great trade for Cleveland, especially in the out-years.
