8) By matter of default, something in Cleveland needs to be worth money

7) Team's constant turnover at the skill positions offers incredibly lucrative merch and jersey sale opportunities

6) As they enjoy a loyal following without wins, there's such potential here in the event that they ever fall into some, you know, talent

3) New ownership is under the impression that the franchise has a rich and storied history, all the while forgetting that all got packed up and shipped to Baltimore
