Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini says other trades are in the works
-
Has anyone shown interest in our tendered guys? I haven't heard anything about DQ or Harrison receiving offers or even interest.

That is actually good. If true, we can resign them cheaper.
They are worth keeping, especially harrison at this point.
I was really hoping to see jackson bust out last year, maybe he would have in the later weeks.

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?

what if that included them trading Steiny for a 2nd? how would you feel about them breaking up the JT/ES/AM team? -

We can't because genius phil signed him to a billion dollar contract.

Nooooo waaaay! Steinbach is a LG that you just can't go out and replace. Not to mention, if he had to, he could step in at RG. Losing him would literally create a huge hole in the foundation of your offense. No way. My list still includes Jackson, Harrison, and possibly Rogers. Williams and Quinn are already checked off my list and the Wimbley one shocked me because I didn't think he had much value. But then came the Raiders who I am pretty sure haven't watched game film of anybody in 20 years. Good for us.

for the sake of debate, let's say the $$ wasn't an obstacle for another team in this potentially uncapped era.
personally i'd be unhappy about it. there is the issue of him maintaining his weight at guard for the full season, but other than that he's rock solid.
if they didn't like him at LG i'd rather them experiment with him more at RT and try to keep him on the line.

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.

Unless you have inside information that indicates otherwise, I don't believe you know what is "clearly not happening". And what mopaji said clearly pertains to this topic, seeing as the title opens up discussion about possible trades.
I don't think Harrison will be traded before next season, but then again I thought Quinn was staying in Cleveland too. Anything can happen.
Did anybody see the Wimbley trade coming? I know I sure didn't. What makes you think you know what Holmgren and Co. has up their sleeves?

Why would we trade Harrison when he has very little wear on his body and has shown to be pretty good/dynamic runningback? With hillis and Dvis I am comfortable enough to no draft a back. We cannot keep trading away all of our "vets".

Actually if you read the article mangini says they traded those players to acquire the picks we may need to either a) move up in the draft or B ) get a guy we need from another team. Now this doesn't rule out the fact that harrison couldn't be included in a package deal of some sort but it certainly makes it sound like if we were going to trade him for a 3rd or some other pick we already would have. Instead we traded wimbley because either a) they like our depth at olb better then our depth at runningback (doubt it) B )no teams were interested or did not offer a high enough pick or c) they didn't want to trade the one guy that could actually score td's for us other then cribbs. Didn't need to be an insider to solve that puzzle

I did read the article, and I did read that. What I didn't see, however, was Mangini saying that we are done trading for picks. He certainly said that there's a possibility we'll go after some free agents, but he never said explicitly that we weren't going to keep adding picks.
And, pertaining to your multiple question, I would venture my guess that C would be the least likely reason Holmgren would keep Harrison aboard. Especially during this offseason, when there were quite a few runningbacks with a touchdown scoring tendency that could have been had for cheap.
The most likely reason is probably A, in my book. It's not that they necessarily "like" the quality of players we have at LB, but we certainly have more than enough to move a couple without putting us at a disadvantage.
Although B is certainly a viable option as well. There's no doubt in my mind that Harrison was available to teams, and was inquired about. But I feel that Holmgren and Co. were looking for something in the range of a second/third round pick + player and nobody was willing to offer that.
So, when it comes down to it... you're right, you don't have to be an insider to solve that puzzle. Deductive reasoning sufficed just fine.
