Report: Browns looking to deal Quinn, Edwards

[cpk1994]

Will the Browns have any players of note left after this offseason? Quick, offer then a first for Joe Thomas...

Would you give up #9 for JT? I'm not sure if I would. It'd require some thought.

Not only would I give the #9 pick, I would throw in something extra if they wanted it. Not a 1-4 round pick. But, I would be ecstatic if they took just the #9, so would be willing to sweeten it with a little something extra if that is what it took.

The guy has been to the Pro-Bowl in his 1st and 2nd years, and was a starter this year. He is about as solid of an individual as you will ever meet. There is absolutely no downside to him, nothing negative, and he has already proven himself to be among the best LTs in the game today. He pass blocks and he run blocks very, very well. Unless the #9 brings you a future NFL HOF'er, you won't get a better, more important player than Thomas. He would be a perfect player for the Packers to get with their #9.

I agree 100%.

So they made a mistake by giving Anderson too much money, so to resolve that issue they want to trade Quinn (who's not making THAT much money as a mid first-rounder) before giving him a real chance?

Stallworth likely has a room booked at the Old Graybar Hotel, they traded Winslow, now they want to trade Edwards? If Anderson is the guy, they sure don't want to help him out any.

If you are going to liquidate all of your assets into draft picks, is this the year you want to that? This doesn't strike me as a particular talent laden draft class.

I guess you can't really break something that's already broken, but it doesn't seem to me that they're making their jobs any easier.

Unless they view Anderson as a placeholder and plan to draft Sanchez?

that actually makes some sense.

Remember last off-season?

The Browns were the paper champions.

They made all the right moves and were poised to make a major run.

One year later and they are a shambles.

The Steelers built thru the draft and are Champs.

Seems obvious which model works the best.

Joe Thomas is worth our first, no question. He's a young guy who's played at a high level already. We're hoping to land a young guy who can play at a high level! As pointed out, he would probably go #2 if that draft was redone today, so in our situation, 2 first round picks would probably be a fair price - especially considering I've got confidence that the 2010 pick will be well into the twenties...or 30's!!!

Of course, all this talk of what Cleveland might want for JT is just idle chatter; cause he ain't going anywhere!

Exactly. He's their best player. I was just remarking at the rate at which they're sloughing talent.

[Freak Out]

Nice to talk about JT but he's not the one being traded.

I know I've blown the LT horn a lot, but I would actually give our 9 and the latter 3rd rounder (Jets pick) for Joe Thomas in a heartbeat. I can't say enough about how important I think it is to protect the blindside, and if the guy can run block, huge bonus.

I believe my IQ went down from just reading your stupidity.

You gotta be kidding me. I'd do that in a freakin' heartbeat!

A #9 is far to high a price to pay for a 2 team pro bowler and potential HOF.

HOF might be pushing it at this stage, but yeah, knowing what I do now, hell yeah I'd make the deal.

Christ, everyone jumps on a guy for not following an AFC tackle that closely

Hence the word potential.

But, pushing it....how so? Third pick overall, 2 consecutive pro bowls, rookie of the year runner up, etc.

That is exactly what you look for when forecasting a HOF.

Just get it over and confirm upon JT the valued Partial "it" label. Or, does Money Morency only warrant that prestigious evaluation?

Our 1 and any OLineman except Colledge would be fine with me.

Let's say our 1 & Moll, write up the paperwork and alert both teams?

I wouldn't throw in Spitz or Sitton either at this point. Moll I would throw in without hesitation.

[KYPack]

We are all talking about a mythical deal anyway. I can't imagine the Browns dealing JT at this point. He's one of the few assests that club has. Shaun Rogers, Corey Williams or Braylon Edwards are possibilities.

If the Browns were going to deal Thomas, I'd assume they want at least Sitton or Spitz AND the 1, so no deal, right?
