in Week 8 at 4:25 pm as schedule leaks build." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTThe NFL will not officially release the 2019 schedule until Wednesday night at 8 Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey , but reports are starting to come out about a few dates concerning the Cleveland Browns.According to Manish Mehta of The New York Daily News, the Browns will make an appearance on Monday Night Football when they travel to MetLife Stadium to face the new York Jets in Week 2. (So much for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. seeing the schedule a week earlier and believing the Browns would face the Jets in Week 1).If true, it would mark the Browns first game on Monday Night Football since Nov. 30, 2015, when they lost to the Baltimore Ravens on the game’s final play, a blocked field goal returned 64 yards for a touchdown by Baltimore’s Will Hill.The game would also be a rematch of last season’s Week 3 contest between the Browns and the Jets https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey , a game that saw quarterback Baker Mayfield make his NFL debut in a Browns win.A marquee matchup for the Browns will reportedly come in Week 8 when they go on the road to face the New England Patriots. That game will be a 4:25 p.m. contest, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic:That will likely be just one of several late-afternoon games for the Browns in the upcoming season. Unless they are moved into a primetime slot, the road games against the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers will all be later starts. It also wouldn’t be surprising to see the home game against the Los Angeles Rams be at a later time, as well as one (or more) of the divisional games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.The league will announce the schedule live at 8 p.m. on the NFL Network. ESPN2 will have its own schedule release show, also at 8 p.m. The Buccaneers didn’t want to pay veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy $13 million in 2019. More importantly Kevin Zeitler Jersey , no one else wanted to trade for McCoy’s contract.And that’s often the impetus for a trade. Yes, the new team wants the player. But the new team also prefers to surrender a draft pick or a player for the contract, in lieu of potentially having to pay even more in an open competition if/when the player is released.The fact that the Bucs couldn’t find a trade partner for McCoy means that no one wanted to give up anything of value for the privilege of getting McCoy at $13 million in compensation this season. Which suggests that McCoy, on the open market, will have a hard time getting to that number.The Browns are the only team that had been linked to McCoy before he was released; if another team had been considering a trade for McCoy, that news surely would have emerged Joel Bitonio Color Rush Jersey , if for no reason other than to create a real market for McCoy’s services — and ultimately to spark a deal.That’s not to say there aren’t other interested teams, but if it were believed that McCoy would be a guy who commands significant dollars if available in free agency (, more than the $13 million he was due to make in 2019), the Bucs should have been able to trade him, somewhere.Spitballs regarding potentially interested teams already have emerged, likely pushed by the McCoy camp in order to spark a market for his services. Still https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Terrance-Mitchell-Jersey , the Browns continue to be the only team that had been linked to McCoy. And without a second team to drive up the price, McCoy will have a hard time approaching the money he was due to make in 2019 from Tampa — especially with multiple other veteran defensive linemen still available to be signed.If McCoy somehow matches or surpasses it, the message will be that the Bucs bungled what should have been an ideal situation to trade not just the player but the contract.
