The Trent Richardson trade proves just how dumb the Cleveland Browns front office really is. Cleveland fans better get to know their college football Saturdays because the Brownies just dealt one of their franchise cornerstones before week three. By dealing Trent Richardson for a first round pick, they’ve conceded the 2013 season.
And the Indianapolis Colts showed they’re ready to contend for the whole enchilada; in a very wide open AFC. As Cleveland heads into the 2014 NFL Draft they will have multiple picks in the first, third and fourth rounds and almost certainly will target a new quarterback. And I guess a new running back too.
They need to replace Trent Richardson. Here’s the crazy part of his being dealt to the Colts.
Tweet from Sports Anchor/Reporter at Cleveland’s CBS-19, Sports Talk host on 92.3 The Fan.
Trent also said a friend called, said “You’ve been traded?” he told him to shut up & hung up. Turned on radio and learned he’d been dealt.
