Gocong and Brown

playerjdd

I wonder what the compensation would be?? If we got Brown does that mean no Haden?? As long as its not our 1st and 2nd rounder im happy with this trade. I saw it said package deal so could it be 2- 3rds??

I don't think they want to trade two picks unless they were late. The article at PFT said that it would be a pick and a player or two picks and a backup.

yea there's no way we give a 1st or 2nd for this. Just spitballin if the deal goes through, I'd bet it'll be a later third and a 5th.

it should be worth mentioning that Heckert always would say "You should fill needs with free agency and trades, with the draft you draft the best available player."

Browns acquire Chris Gocong and Sheldon Brown from Eagles

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 2, 2010 11:58 AM ET

Well, the Browns-Eagles trade didn't take too long to finalize after all.

The Eagles officially announced they have traded cornerback Sheldon Brown and linebacker Chris Gocong to the Browns for linebacker Alex Hall, a fourth-round pick (No. 105), and a fifth-round pick (No.137) in the 2010 draft.

The Browns had 12 picks in this draft, so the move acquires two possible starters at a reasonable cost. This isn't like Phil Savage mortgaging the team's future for early picks. It's the Browns getting some capable veterans to upgrade their talent to tide them over while the team reloads.

It's expected that Cleveland will re-negotiate Brown's contract.

It's unclear where Gocong will play in Cleveland's 3-4 defense, but he's not great in coverage so providing depth at inside linebacker makes sense. He wasn't a long-term solution as a starter in Philadelphia.

Hall has flashed some pass rush ability, and will likely compete at the strong-side linebacker spot for Philadelphia.

Ultimately, we think the Browns got a solid starting cornerback for a fair price. But it's not a game-changing move for either team.

WOW! I cannot wait to see the Browns in 2010

We have a couple nice linebackers, but we still need a play making type. We really dont have anyone special.
