So long Cleveland! Earlier today the Cleveland Browns decided to trade Trent Richardson to the Colts in exchange for a second first round pick in the 2014 draft. Honestly, I see this as a win for both teams. The Colts lost Ballard for the season last week and came away from this trade with an even better back than the one they started the season with. He can run, he can block, and he can catch out of the backfield, which is something that's only going to help Andrew Luck. Even though the Colts offensive line isn't quite as good as the Browns', Richardson's never been on a team that was a consistent threat in the passing game. If the Colts keep the play calling balanced you can expect to see T-Rich thrive in this offense. On the Browns end, they continue to stock up more and more picks in next years draft. They've got two picks in each of the first four rounds. With enough smart picks in the first two rounds, and enough good value at the tail end of the draft, this is the best chance for Cleveland to actually rebuild their team into something a coach can fucking work with for once.
"K, see ya!"
