Williams to be Traded

[Rastak]

Damn, this is just smooth hustling TT is running here. He gets their #2 he is gonna LOAD up on quality players. As mentioned, when Williams was called on at the end of the season he never answered. I hope this happens.

I'd agree that a #2 would be a good deal for the Packers.

The post is saying we should know in about 3 hours.

HERE IS A QUOTE: "Corey Williams has been traded to Cleveland."

Pretty strong language.

Perhaps Braylon Edwards? He's been having contract issues.




Wishful thinking? MAYBE!!!!!!!!

[RashanGary]

I just wonder what CLE is giving up. Like someone mentioned, they already traded away their #1. Are they really looking to trade away thier #2 as well. Maybe they're willing to trade away one of next years picks.

Who knows? Time will tell I guess.

someone check around the Cleveland brown forums...

they have derrick anderson who the tendered to the highest possible thing. meaning they can get a 1st and third for him.

and with brady quinn on the team and not a lot of quality free agent qb's out there, they could get some decent picks for him

Just as much skepticism and confusion, but it might turn into an insightful thread.

Same WashPost blog had the price for Marcus Stroud of Jacksonville as a number 2 pick. Williams is younger, but I would have to admit I'd be surprised if we would get Stroud value for Williams. Except for the playoffs, I haven't seen Stroud play much, but in my memory, his rep is above Williams.

someone on the browns forum said...

"Our 2nd round pick and 2008 and 2009"

I don't know how reliable that is!!! Thats more like wishful thinking on our part

"Packers trying to drive up the price now reporting 5 teams and not three interested in Williams and he's talking to all of them."


Hahaha, 5 teams in the bidding. TT is a bad ass

At some point you have to take something though. C-dub is the only talented DT on the trade block or UFA. His value seems higher than we thought.

Yea i am surprised how many people outside of packer land are in love with this guy...

By the way.... If he gets traded does that mean we gain our 6-7 mill in cap back???

BROWNS HOPING TO LOSE ANDERSON?

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that, in order to get defensive tackle Corey Williams from the Packers, the Browns will send a second-round pick to Green Bay.

[RashanGary]

We would get our cap space back. A high 2nd would be ideal, but I'd be happy with Clevelands #56 if that's how it turns out.

Apparently Fox 8 is the Cleveland affiliate. Anyway, this is what Browns fans are saying right now. I wouldn't be suprised if it's a #3 this year and a #3 next year or something like that.

Fox 8 is reporting the deal is done and will be announced after midnight. Also, they could not say exactly what is being traded for him, but they said they are hearing draft picks. Which HOPEFULLY means maybe a 3rd and some other later pick this year or maybe next year. If we could get Williams and not lose our 2nd..... O BOY
