According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns also attempted to trade for Alex Smith before he was dealt to the Redskins.

The offers were likely similar from both the Redskins and Browns, and ultimately it was likely Smith's decision. Smith admitted earlier on Tuesday in an interview with The Dan Patrick Show that he'd like to join a contender while scoffing at the notion of joining the Browns. Upon agreement of the trade, the Redskins also gave Smith a four-year extension, something Smith likely won't have signed in Cleveland coming off a 1-31 record the last two years. New Browns GM John Dorsey will have to turn his attention elsewhere. He may dip into the Kirk Cousins market, but it's also hard to see Cousins going there after talking about his desire to win earlier in the day.

You can come back when you get multiple picks for Talib.

I'm guessing they did ALex a favor and didn't trade him to Cleveland.

To be rid of Alex?? Cmon man! You’d take a 7th and a blockbuster video gift card with $1.99 onnit and you’d effing love it!

I'm curious if the player the Chiefs receive is to offset salaries, meaning he's of starting caliber, which might explain why the Chiefs may have gotten a lower pick.

I never said that...

Who are they trading Talib to? ADX Florence?

Are we sure it's a 3rd and not a 2nd?

A veteran pass rusher... Kerrigan

Then draft another OLB with our resulting 3rd

We got a 3rd not a 2nd

A 3rd for Alex? meh..I was hoping for more. Hope the player we get in return isn't a turd.

Breeland is an UFA, so nope.

I said a few weeks back Smith would have a say in where he goes, they were going to give him that privilege.

I wonder if there is a conditional pick in there somewhere?
