Kenny Britt
Earlier in this article, Niner Noise showered the Cleveland Browns organization with praise for trading with the Houston Texans. That trade was a shrewd move that netted them additional draft ammo that could also help them get their preferred QB. It appeared that the “Factory of Sadness” was finally starting to make some brilliant football decisions.
And yet, the Browns turnaround and sign 29-year-old wide receivers who have been mostly inconsistent in their career, overpaying them while also ignoring their own rising star WR.

Maybe the credit for the clever trade should fall on the Texans more than the Browns. The Browns signed former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt to a four-year, $32.5 million contract.
While their younger, better WR signed for far less with another team. That’s what you call bad for business.
