Cleveland Browns News: Who won the Odell Beckham trade?
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know. Today’s main link examines who won the trade for Odell Beckham, Jr.
With free agency still going on, the major talking points continue to be the huge moves made by the Cleveland Browns. They landed defensive end Olivier Vernon via trade and picked up defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.
Those moves were big, but the one that still draws the most attention was the deal that landed them wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. His addition gives them an elite receiver, but they did give up a lot to land him.
With such a big trade, the question becomes whether or not the Browns were on the right side of things. Fans surely think so, but one prominent member of the ESPN staff has decided to weigh in on that as well.

Grading the Odell Beckham Jr. trade from Giants to Browns: Who won? — Bill Barnwell, ESPN
"“It’s hard to feel good about this trade if you’re a Giants fan. Even in the best-case scenario, it will take years for the Giants to recover from this deal and reap the benefits of their pick. The Giants were often a frustrating team to watch with Beckham, who seemingly had to carry the offense to competence some weeks. They’re going to be an even more frustrating team to watch without him.”"
Barnwell does a great job trying to be objective, but he seems to be of the belief that the Browns won this trade. It sure seems like he’s right because OBJ is an incredible talent that can change an offense.
Browns shopping running back Duke Johnson, sources say — Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland.com
"“In the course of trade conversations over the past few days, teams have learned that the Browns are more than willing to deal Johnson, but they’re waiting for the right offer.”"
The Browns still seem willing to move on from several players acquired before John Dorsey took the reins. Duke Johnson and Emmanuel Ogbah have been involved in rumors more than any others and at this point, it would be surprising to see them in Cleveland in 2019.

Kareem Hunt’s suspension ‘might not be as long’ as expected
It’s hard to say why the league takes so long to issue suspensions. Dan Justik looks at the Kareem Hunt situation and discusses how he was out five games on the commissioner’s exempt list and is still awaiting punishment. However, it may not end up being as long of a suspension as some originally believed. Then again, the league’s inconsistency is hard to figure out.
