2018 picks, as it stands
-
I'll go one step further...
I want Joe to retire a Brown never having played anywhere else... and then join our staff and coach the OL. Anyone who witnessed Mitchell Schwartz's rise knows the guy can coach.
It'd be great if he could retire with at least one AFCN Championship banner, if not an AFC banner, if not a ring...

You're a way more loyal fan than me.
I just care about getting some value for him before he packs it in 
...only if they're out of the playoff picture by the trade deadline though.
How would you feel about getting the draft picks for him, then getting him back after the 2018 season (when he's a free agent) IF he's still got some juice left AND our new 1st round LT pick hasn't worked out? Realistically, after the 2018 season should be when the Browns are LEGIT contenders if all the young guys develop properly...

Trading Thomas gets a big fuck no from me. The only acceptable circumstance would be if he wanted the trade. That guy has earned the right to be here until he retires. He's never but he's that we sick and as easy as it would have been to sit out games he's broken consecutive snap records. He IS the Browns.

Actually, didn't he ask for a trade a few years ago, when the Browns almost dealt him to Denver?

What's with this "he's earned xyz" stuff? The guy gets a salary. If he wants to be rewarded for loyalty then we should pay him more. But the team does what's best for the team.

Fuck off newbie.
JT will retire as a Cleveland Brown.
Its bullshit to see players in their waning years play like a scrub for other teams: Emmitt Smith with the Cardinals. John Unitas with the Chargers. Joe Namath with the Rams. Now, Adrian Peterson with the Saints. etc.

Not quite there yet, war... in part due to the premise, but just not enough data on what we have... or what is going to be in the draft and available when Day One.
Another Edge? CB? MLB? WR? All possible, maybe even probable needs, but I can't say for sure let alone in what order the need and talent will fall.
Could even be a RB in the mix... but I'll never admit that to Ag.
I'll be pissed if we have to take another d end. Hopefully Schobert fills MLB need. WR and RB sound good, especially if our defense is already a top 10 unit after this season.
My take is- if anyone deserves the right to retire as a Brown- it's Joe Thomas. Both Bitonio and\or (hopefully) Coleman can slide to LT when Joe hangs 'em up.
Screw the Moneyball approach in this case. Thomas could long ago have demanded a trade to get out of the Football Hell that's been the Browns since he was drafted and go to a winning team- but he didn't. HOF level performance & loyalty should be rewarded.
PS saw on the PD Joe needs 4 more snaps to make it to 10,000 straight. Let that one settle in for a minute. We're talking the Cal Ripken of Football.
Forget that. He knows it's a business.
I'm as big a Joe Thomas fan as anyone, but if someone offered a first round pick for him I'd be hard-pressed not to consider it. This is his 11th season. He's probably on borrowed time.
Agreed. Would probably like a little more than a first rounder alone but I'd be listening.
I'll be pissed if we have to take another d end. Hopefully Schobert fills MLB need. WR and RB sound good, especially if our defense is already a top 10 unit after this season.
Edge does not necessarily mean DE...
I could see a stud OLB pushing Kirk back inside where I'm sure he'd displace Joe.

Ah.... the Kenny Lofton gambit... Don't see it happening in the NFL. (Has it ever happened in the NFL?) Main reason is you have to fill that LT slot... and that means investment.
I'll admit to a loyalty factor when it comes to Joe, but first and foremost comes the performance hurdle... and right now Joe is clearing it with ease.
Right now our #1 priority is developing a QB. Might be Kizer... might be one of four or so college players... regardless Joe is a key factor in giving whoever that QB is the best chance to develop. I don't think I can make a stronger case that this.
And give gumby a break... the man has forgotten more football than most ever know... and he has not forgotten much. So just suck it up, buy a decoder ring (like the rest of us have) and enjoy...

And AP is ruining that Brees run O if you watched the game. He's having to keep two vets and a rookie happy and it's killing the Brees passing game. And none of the 3 is happy in the three headed RB monster that was created.

EXACTLY. Joe Thomas inspires this entire football team. He MUST be here when they get that ring...or yeah, an AFC championship.
He isn't going anywhere, I don't see him wanting to go elsewhere. If you traded Joe Thomas, you'd yank the heart right out of this team, that is on the verge of doing some serious winning.

Ah-thanks for the reminder. Happy birthday Tour and now I can call my 73 y.o brother who shares this date with you as a birthday. I sent him a card with "Woody" from Toy Story on the outside and the inside it says something to the effect of "How does it feel to become a classic antique?"
Well?

Woody? My erectile functionality is a bit personal for a football forum inquiry... don't you think?
Thanks for the well-wish nonetheless...

As others have said, you trade Joe, what's your plan B at LT this year? Watch Kizer get killed?
