The Browns were in need of a quarterback to replace Bill Nelsen, who made the Pro Bowl in 1969 but was starting to break down due to injuries. Cleveland needed to find a way to get into one of the top three slots in the 1970 NFL Draft so they could take one of best available quarterbacks - Louisiana Tech’s Terry Bradshaw, San Diego State’s Dennis Shaw or Purdue’s Mike Phipps.Following a line of thinking that only he could have found reasonable, Modell determined the best course of action was to trade the team’s best offensive playmaker in Warfield to one of the teams at the top of the draft. Modell found a willing partner in the Dolphins, sent Warfield off to win multiple Super Bowls with Miami Jarvis Landry Jersey , and used the third overall selection in the draft on Phipps, who would last seven mostly-forgettable years with the Browns. There was a silver lining in all this, as the Browns would trade Phipps to the Chicago Bears in 1977 in a deal that included Chicago’s first-round selection in the 1978 draft. Cleveland would use that pick to select tight end Ozzie Newsome, who would ultimately join Warfield in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As for the Beckham deal, for once it looks like the Browns are going to be on the right side of league history when it comes to discussing the best players ever traded.
