Browns make 3 major trades

Cleveland Browns star left tackle Joe Thomas is still mulling his playing future, but he endorsed the flurry of trades made by the team last week, including the acquisition of Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Smith had 36 catches for 430 yards and two touchdowns while starting 14 games in his first season in Philadelphia. Not bad at all.

The bottom line is the Browns should be improved by these moves - and they remain poised to make impact picks in the draft.

Going into Friday, the Cleveland Browns were the only team in the National Football League that had more salary cap space than the New York Jets. Landry is likely to get a long-term deal from the team soon and Taylor brings a $16 million cap hit if he doesn't receive a new contract soon.

The move reportedly saves the Eagles $4 million in cap space.

However, even with Taylor around, the Browns are still expected to select a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft and Dorsey and his staff are in the process of deciding if that's Southern Cal's Sam Darnold, UCLA's Josh Rosen, Wyoming's Josh Allen or Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy victor who scares some Cleveland fans because of his Johnny Manziel-like showmanship.

After McCarron won a grievance making him an unrestricted free agent, a reunion between Hue Jackson and the Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback was nearly considered inevitable. Their depth chart now consists of 2017 second-round pick Kevin King, who is coming off shoulder surgery; Quinton Rollins, a 2015 second-round pick coming off a ruptured Achilles' tendon; and youngsters Josh Hawkins, Lenzy Pipkins, Donatello Brown and Herb Waters.

U.S. may tie North Atlantic Treaty Organisation contributions to tariff exemptions
The strings Trump attached to his tariff exemption could tie down an elephant. It's very important that there are advocates for this in the White House.

Now, however, it appears the Browns aren't set on one particular passer among the draft's top five quarterbacks, though they're still looking to select a franchise quarterback this year. That's not a guy who will settle or the wrong pick just because everyone thinks he has to draft a quarterback.

Saquon Barkley has been picking up steam as the new favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Not needing a quarterback (thank you, Jimmy Garoppolo), the 49ers are hoping for a plethora of QB-needy teams taking quarterbacks early in Round 1.

This trade has several effects on the market for quarterbacks, but the Arizona Cardinals were apparently a team interested in acquiring Taylor.

McCarron wants to start and it's unlikely he would want to compete with Taylor, who led the Bills to their first postseason appearance since 1999. He added to the defense by getting Randall, while also adding a bridge quarterback in Taylor and a big receiving threat in Landry.

Its the first significant move made by Gutekunst as the team's general manager. The Browns get Randall and a fifth-round pick for quarterback DeShone Kizer and a fourth-round pick.
