  • It appears by the time the Browns have the pieces in place Thomas will be 32. If you can get a GREAT deal 1st & 3rd, pull the trigger.

  • Deadline is November 3rd at 4pm

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • I agree that we need to make moves. Why not go for more draft picks. Let's hope that Farmer makes the correct moves though. So far, it hasn't been good.

  • Trade 'em all, and if the Browns front office can't get first round picks for Thomas and Mack they've done it wrong.

    i think mack and thomas rumor may be true...how many fucking yrs of losing football can 1 person stand...krueger has a ring, mingo is too young, but he is not the stud as we thought we would get when drafted...

    In season trades for linemen are rare, the only thing that would make sense is Mack to Denver. Mack's contract is a hindrance. A team can just wait for him to be a FA next year.

    I just saw that.

    Joe Thomas IS Cleveland. Idk how you could trade him. I don't think you could get more than what he is worth to this team.

    Yep on Thomas. What is a million broken hearts worth in trade value?

    Sure- trade them for what? Another first round bust?

    You know how the NFL works, Larry.

    The Browns would get a Dime on a Dollar in trading any of these guys.

    They should try, I guess, but - at least contracts aren't guaranteed.

    I'm not watching much of the team these days but it sounds like the problems go pretty deep. And I'm not only talking about players and the GM.

    They might get a 3rd for one of them - maybe a 2nd for Thomas.

    Mack? Maybe a 4th?

    This isn't the NBA or MLB. And none of these guys are skill players or difference makers.

    big rebuild ahead though folks, the Shurmur/Chud era players are gonna get purged. It needs to be done, but y'all need to understand what it means.....no playoffs for years.

    Yup... and has to be in full consultation with Haslam so it implies that he is prepared to stay the course with Farmer and Pet for at least... two more seasons?

    Interesting Tour wondering how much more losing Haslam will tolerate.The record says- minus Manzeil- you're 1-10. You whiffed on Mack & Carr.

    Neither am I, but if a decent offer came from a playoff-caliber team, I'd pull the trigger. The dude is such pro and a class act; he deserves to actually have a chance to win something before his career is over. With the level of disfunction in the Browns organization right now, he won't have a chance to win here.

    We're not going to get a decent offer. Unless Farmer is stockpiling picks to move up to #1 overall.

  • Good move them all out and get someone who can actually play and make a difference in the 'W' category.

    don't bet on it. You have to figure that both these guys are sick and tired of the merry go round and losing seasons yr after yr...these guys have their money and security if they don't screw it up. I'm sure they'd like to hoist the lombardi trophy before their careers are over...ain't happenin here in cleveeeeeeeelin...

  • Id sell all these guys yes even joe thomas for a single playmaker

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    More tolerant than you might think...

    It would not surprise me if in their retreat they laid out multiple routes to building a winner and identified the time lines and odds of success for each route.

    Everything from the blow-it-up/5-year-ish plan to the buy-A-team/win-now option. I think they chose a middle route of pruning and filling in with a mix of FA and draft and have now concluded it to have been the wrong choice.

    If Haslam is convinced he has the right people, and I've not seen any signs he does not, then we could easily see two more years of our GN and HC. And we should get a clue this week... IIRC Haslam did a mid-year presser last season... and here we are.

    Other than an analytical process to learn what they missed seeing, they won't spend time worrying about specific misses in the draft or FA.

    I should hope they're dudes. It'd be beyond browns to bring in women.
