    John, I am happy that you posted this, many people need to realize when new coaching staffs are hired they want there own players, and just maybe Mangini & Co. are not convinced that BQ or DA is the QB they want and as you say if we are not going anywhere this season what better way to improve this team for 2010 and beyond but to make a trade like this where the Browns could walk away with 4/5 picks in the 1st 2 rounds.

    John there was a rumor I just heard that had the Browns moving out of the #5 spot in this trade and swapping picks with Denver.

    Denver Receives: Brady Quinn, #5 pick 1st round, Jets 2nd round pick

    Cleveland Receives: Denvers #12 pick 1st round, Jets #17 1st round

    NY Jets Receives: Jay Cutler

    One more late round pick is what i thought was included. If you add a 5th round either this year or next the the numbers add up in our favor.

    Just thinking the same thing..the Jets need to ante up a little more in either scenario. A 4th or 5th....or a 3rd next year...to the Browns to even it up.

    John I would think the Browns would be getting pretty good value here, we get out of the #5 selection and trade a unproven QB and we move down which is what everyone wanted and we get 2 1st round picks, so we get back the number 1 we traded to get Brady and we don't have to pay a #5 pick the dollars he would get now if we could get a 4th or 5th this year that would be good. The Browns could come out of this with a ILB, OLB, SS, C. I would be happy if we could get Rey, Everette Brown, Delmas and Mack or maybe we draft Sanchez as our future QB with Rey at ILB, Delmas at safety and Mack at center or do you think we go outside LB since we acquired Barton.

    Looking at it from the Jets side they get a better QB than they could draft and the give up a 1st and 2nd round pick

    The Broncos get a QB in Brady, the #5 pick in the draft and a 2nd round choice......not bad return for Cutler

  • That would equate to us giving Quinn and a 2nd rounder for the jets #17 pick, you guys are insane to like that trade

    Not sure I follow you. We give up Quinn and #5 and get the 12th and 17th pick in the draft in one scenario...and in the other we give up Quinn and get the 17th and 53rd. Either way, we don't give up a 2nd rounder....

    dropping from #5 to #12 is worth a 2nd rounder

    which is why I thought the Jets needed to sweeten the pot a little. They were getting Cutler too cheap with a 1st and 2nd rounder (mid rounders at that). I would expect the Browns to get a 2010 pick in this situation.

    The Jets would have to add a 1st rounder next year before even thinking about considering that trade scenerio.

    Quinn was a #22 pick...and you want 2 1sts for him? Really?

    Quinn has 1 good game under his belt and 2 injury games. I don't see that worth two 1st round picks. In fact, I doubt Cutler draws that price. So, trading Quinn and our #5 for the #12 and #17 picks and a 2nd or 3rd next year is not a bad trade at all.

    Minnesota already offered us two first rounders, so yea

    dropping 5 to 12 cancels out your 2nd or 3rd next year, so your giving up Quinn for a #17 when we gave a 1st and 2nd to get him and he hasnt had a chance to play yet. Thats insane to me

    By your logic we shouldn't consider anything less than a 1st and a 2nd for DA because we already turned down that offer...

    The fact is, THIS FO hasn't turned down anything.

    THIS FO is NOT the previous FO...and they value players differently. What the previous FO traded to get BQ has nothing to do with anything at this point. They will do what they feel is best...and if that includes trading BQ...then they will do it.

    Add into that equation the financial climate and you can see the value of players dropping considerably. Just look at the Cassel trade and you will get a better idea of how good this trade is.

    Personally, I would prefer keeping Quinn as I don't like DA's style of QBing...and I don't think Sanchez is going to be as good as BQ....but my opinion isn't worth squat.

    This FO is rebuilding...and new pieces are required to do that. BQ is one of our pieces worth even a little...so this trade has merit. However, OVER-valuing BQ just because the previous FO liked him makes no difference TODAY.

    I've never heard anywhere where we turned down a 1st and 2nd for DA. But if we did I would still expect DA's value to go down some because he had a horrible season, comparing that to Quinn doesnt make sense what has Quinn done to lose trade value, if anything I would say he bolsterd his value with how he performed against denver in his first start.

    It has nothing to do with the previous FO or how the current FO values players, although I'm sure they would both try to get as much as possible for any player so really there's not much defference. It has to do with what the market is for your players, and if the market has already offered two 1st rounders why would you take one 1st rounder, that doesnt seem like it would be in the best interest of your team to me

    And I noticed that you combed through this entire thread to find one of a vast minority that said that instead of commenting on 4 pages of Browns fans discussing the overall MERITS of the trade...and NOT slobbering all over BQ (the way you do DA).

    No, you can't even come in this thread where we discuss trading BQ and ADD to the thread...just mock one guy for not seeing it happen.

    Typical!!!

    how? they were offered a 1st for cassel and for some reason they took a high 2nd instead from his ex GM, maybe a favor or maybe he had something worked out for Peppers who knows

Theres just too much potential to be had. Not to mention his career in a pro offense in college and how well he did there.

    sadly, no. Quinn's performances on the field haven't bolstered shit.

    hence all these trade rumors.
