Report: Browns trade third-round pick to Bills for former Raven QB Tyrod Taylor — Baltimore Beatdown
The Browns, again, are slowly rebuilding their offense one piece at a time. This time, they acquire former Ravens quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

Writer Note: Landry will view Evans’ deal as a benchmark, but the glorified running back is not worth that type of money.
