I thought the same when I read the report. Maybe they're floating the rumor to try to force Kirk's hand by the threat of sending him to the Browns. Both the Skins and Browns are going through some rough times right now... but staying with the Skins has to be more appealing to Kirk than going to Cleveland (I hope). I really would like to see us get a deal done to keep Kirk.
From what I've heard, Kirk's agent is chasing his first major contract and he wants to hit big with Kirk; so if it's the money that they're chasing then it may not matter that it's the Browns. The Browns have the cap space and ammo to possibly make a trade happen.The Browns have already showed their hand by letting everyone know that they don't want Osweiler. From everything that I've heard is that they plan to either release or trade him. So they still need a QB. They have two first round picks this year (1st and 12th); maybe they would be willing to give up the 12th pick along with a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
