Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini says other trades are in the works

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Don't pencil in your Browns roster just yet. There is another transaction -- or two -- in the works.

Coach Eric Mangini said at NFL owners meetings this morning that the trade of linebacker Kamerion Wimbley to Oakland for a third-round pick was partly done to create an opportunity for another trade.

"It's not that we didn't like Kam or didn't think he was doing good things," Mangini said. "It's just that having that pick (No. 75 overall) allows us to have just some more versatility.

"It's difficult to part with a character guy (like Wimbley). I really like Kam. I really do. It wasn't a function of wanting to move him. It was more of a function of where do we have depth? Where can we trade to give us some more ability to address other areas?"

The trade of Wimbley gave the Browns five selections in the first 87 picks. They also own the Jets' third-round pick, plus their own in the first three rounds.

"A little bit of this was done in anticipation of being able to get some other things done that will involve draft picks," Mangini said.

It's possible the Browns could use one of their extra picks in trading for, or signing, a restricted free agent that requires draft-choice compensation.

Mangini said the club will revisit these trade talks next week.

"Until it's done, you can't guarantee it," he said. "But it gives us flexibility if we want to do that. If not, then you get another third-round draft pick, which is really a good spot to draft, whether we want to address the secondary or someplace else."

Translation-They either trade up for Bradford,or they trade back into the first round for the player they really want after their no.7 pick.

I think your "troll" status promotion (or demotion) has more to do with the fact that you're not on the Harrison bandwagon like everybody else.

And neither am I, so I guess I'm a troll too.

I just don't know if he can produce consistantly. I hope he proves me wrong this year, I really do.

No it has to do with the fact that he feels the need to post about it in every thread, every single day. I couldn't care less if you guys are fans of our best offensive player last year or not but for god's sake shut the fack up about it. The trade is clearly not happening so keep that shit in topics that are at least relevant.

Not every thread. Only the one's that point to the move being made

1. Tendered at a 2nd.

2. Trade for Hillis

3. Looking at Colt McCoy in the 2nd round, who will not play this year, after saying we have other needs in the 2nd. Why waste a 2nd rounder on a guy who won't play when you could grab another insant starter there? Where could we possibly get another 2nd rounder to pick up McCoy?

4. Mangini saying we're not done dealing just yet and that some things are still in the works. And lest we forget a rumor 2 weeks ago about 9 teams asking about Harrison. If just half that many are interested, a deal should be made.

My desire to move guys isn't exclusive to Harrison. What I'm looking at is ANY player with trade value that was here before Mangini was. Quinn, Rogers, D/Qwell, Williams, and Harrison. All of those guys have been on my 'move list' since week 6 of last year. So, when I see evidence that my personal Browns wishes may come true, I get excited. Isn't that what a Browns fan should do? I want a complete purge of the roster from the pre-Mangini/Holmgren days. Save for Cribbs, Thomas, and Steinbach. If that includes an undersized scat-back on a team in which he is expendable, well then, what's the problem with that?

I see it far more likely that Jackson is gone.

i'd actually prefer it.

I have never seen the love for Jackson.

He is a decent player, but far from as good as many make believe.

Pumpkin Eater

sounds like they are trying to get 2 first round picks.

DQJ is a real character guy but only a mere decent player in our 3-4 vanilla defense with poor to mediocre support around him, he would do better in a 4-3 with good support and we should certainly consider trading him however not for pennies on the dollar as hecktard has been doing, he like wimbley isnt a troublemaker and i dont view DQJ as a firetrade special he will have value somewhere just as wimbley would have had if hecktard were more patient..

I would be happy with that and it does make sense. I don't know if we can get a 2nd for him without throwing in one of our 5rd picks maybe. Either way, it seems like the Browns are going to be the talk of the draft this year and I don't see too many people saying "WTF!" on any of their picks.

I am so damn excited about this year's drafrt that I am getting more an more convinced that 2012 IS the end of the world.
