First Big Name Attached To Browns *trade*
-
were trying our best to secure that very first pick in the draft in 2013, therefor we wont have the heartache if losing players like RG3 and Luck. Only problem with this is there wont be a prospect like those 2 for years to come so we'll draft the next tim couch first overall and repeat the losing insanity.

There has NEVER been a RUMOR. It was SPECULATION and OPINION.
You all need fucking reading comprehension lessons or a better education.
It was a rumor. Opinion would have been someone saying, I think the Browns could trade for Tate. But everything has been, I heard the Browns are trying to offer X pick for Tate. All based off of what 1 guy said on the radio. Sorry you wrote an article about it and it didn't pan out... but it was just a rumor.

My article said that it was speculation and there was no merit to it but that it would be a good idea.
Do you even read or understand what you're reading?
Do you have a brain?
The guy who made this post didn't listen to what the guy said on the radio, I was listening. It was also written down on ESPN Cleveland. The guy who said it, a media guy, said:
"I have heard some rumblings recently that the Browns may explore a trade with Houston for backup running back Ben Tate. When asked about that possibility, a league source said, "I haven't heard anything along those lines but let's put it this way it wouldn't surprise me."
So, if you take away from that sentence that the Browns are in talks for a trade for Ben Tate, you might not be able to read.
That is a rumor my friend. He mentions a rumor he heard and then gives his own opinion on it. Rumor and a false one at that.

No, that is speculation. A media person hearing "rumblings" is a media person stirring the pot.
The only reason it becomes a rumor is because of people's inability to differentiate the two.
It is an unlikely speculation.
A media person hearing "rumblings" is at the very least a media person STARTING a rumor in order to stir the pot and make a story. It is said media person saying "hey this is what I heard." Rumor. Speculation and opinion are what we have all been doing on this board. Speculating on what the Browns might give up to get him, opinion on if the trade would be worth it or not. Is this too hard for you to rap your head around?

Wouldn't be a bad move at all, The guy is shifty and tough. Certainly more proven than a new rookie and the pick cost to us is not that huge.
Decent idea.
First, let me disclose that I'm a Texan fan.
Second, I would like your OPINION on whether Tate is worth swapping first round picks, your 4th for our 26th. You would get a tough and effective runner who has already adjusted to NFL speed and thus is less risky than a draftee. Then you still keep a first round pick to use for other needs which don't require a 4th pick. For us, it puts us in position to draft Blackman to fill a need for a #2 receiver and potential replacement for #1 when Andre Johnson retires or slows down.
This is SPECULATION, not a rumor.
Thank you for your time.

i'd probly do it. if our FO is even considering TR at #4, then tate would still be the better option. there's still many good players at 26....
you'd probly have to throw in a prospect or 2 tho....see julio jones trade last year.

Hey Mike 🥷

No way id do it. Now i might consider it if you had a top 12 pick, but 4 to 26 is too far for me. Nice thinkin tho.

A 3rd round pick, 4th round pick (the Falcons pick) and swap the 22 for the 26. You guys have invested a ton in Foster- you won't re-sign Tate- you know that and other teams know that. So in this scenario you get two picks and a some movement in the first round. You'll get nothing in a few years.

Ben Tate would be the cost for Houston to move from 26 to 22. 4 isn't in the discussion.

26 to 22 isn't worth the punter. Tate is solid. If it's not enough for 26 to 4 then fine, but don't get insulting.
