traded here for a pick

ETA: I assume he'll play End. A quick googling says he's a situational edge rusher and that's about it. Apparently in Freddie Kitchens' dog house or something. But he's young. 2nd year in the league.

I prefer this over renting an older player with a higher pick.

On his rookie deal through '21. Low risk/high reward, played pretty well for them last season. I'm good with these kinds of moves.

Put up 4.5 sacks, 4 pass deflections and 1 FF while starting in only 5 games on a team that never has the lead. I'd be curious to see how many snaps he got there.

Speaks Volumes to the Bradham Injury,,,this kid hardly played on the BROWNS DEFENSE,,,,Ya know that incredible SB winning Dee,,,,and he couldn't crack the lineup,,,,so we trade for him,,,,well at least we won't pic a B C J!

Eagles are listing him as a DE.

4th rounder in 2021

Roob tweeted that he played in 684 D snaps in 2018, out of 1122 they faced that year, so he played 61% of the time. He played 2 D snaps this year. A 4th seems a little high for a guy the Browns didn't seem to want anyway, but if that pick us just going to be Pumphrey or Hollins, who cares I guess.

The Brown's d-line is probably the strength of their team and he didn't fit their scheme anymore after Greg Williams left.

FWIW, Browns fans were really upset they traded him.

They're furious. The threads are quality entertainment.

I’m not thrilled they gave them a 4 for a guy who was taken in the 5th and sitting on the browns bench.

Howie folded. Then again, with the way he’s drafted, might as well keep dealing picka for guys who can land on a NFL roster after you draft them.

With getting Avery, they may well be setting up for one of the other DE's to be thrown in on a trade. Not BG, or Barnett though.

Read an article that the Eagles aren't all that happy with the performance by the backup DEs. Eagles supposedly liked him the year he was drafted. Further speculation is that he was available because he the Browns' DC didn't think he fit his defense.

I don't really care where he was drafted. He's got a solid year of NFL game film. The fact that the Browns changed schemes, jerked him around, and couldn't figure out how to use him in year two probably says more about them than it does about him.

Besides, the 4th round is a barren wasteland for this team.

Fun fact, Avery has only 2 less sacks than Marcus Smith.
