LATEST SPORTS NEWS

The Cleveland Browns are making massive changes to their roster for 2018.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Miami Dolphins will receive two draft picks in exchange for sending Jarvis Landry to Cleveland when deals are able to be completed at the start of the new league year on March 14. 

Schefter also reported the Browns were acquiring cornerback Damarious Randall from the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Tyrod Taylor from the Buffalo Bills. 

With the Browns already having one of the NFL's most talented wide receivers in Josh Gordon, the addition of Landry sparked intense reaction across social media. 

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Landry did something in 2017 that no receiver in Browns history has ever done:

Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu, whose future with the team is up in the air, proposed an interesting idea if the Browns want to try something new at quarterback:

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio had a more practical response that also praised the Browns for making the move:

The MMQB's Albert Breer pointed out what things could look like on the outside of the hash marks for the Browns next season:

Josiah Johnson, creator of Comedy Central's Legends of Chamberlain Heights, used a GIF to imitate Landry's potential response at hearing the news he was dealt to the Browns:

The Not SportsCenter Twitter account took a similar GIF approach, though it also used Landry's contract to make a joke:

Noted Ohio sports fan Chris McNeil used Landry's limited run-after-catch skills to offer this humorous take on the Browns' new wideout:

Sports Nation Ohio did provide a look at what Cleveland's 2018 offense could look like after free agency and the draft:

Dan Katz of Barstool Sports came up with a nickname for the Browns trio of stars if they add Josh Allen in the NFL draft:

B/R's Ryan McCrystal noted the addition of Taylor shouldn't result in mock drafts sending Saquon Barkley to Cleveland with the No. 1 overall pick:

ESPN Cleveland's Tony Grossi went so far as to speculate about what the Browns could do to address the quarterback position in the draft:

The Ringer's Rodger Sherman could only express joy for Taylor going to a situation with a team that appears to want him for at least one season:

B/R's Tyler Dunne had some fun with the Browns moves and a certain NBA superstar who can become a free agent this summer:

ESPN's Mike Clay likes what the Browns stable of cornerbacks looks like after the addition of Randall:

Landry will serve as a safety net for the Browns because of Gordon's history of off-field incidents. He also stands to benefit—assuming Gordon is able to play a full season in 2018—because opposing defenses won't be able to focus on him like they did for the past four seasons in Miami. 

Coming off an 0-16 performance in 2017, the Browns needed to take big swings if they wanted to get back to respectability soon. They still need to figure out their long-term quarterback situation, but the team is shaping up to be formidable in 2018 when these deals becomes official.
