  • No. If a player retires, the team he retires from holds his rights indefinitely. 

    Here's another consideration: what happens if Joe Thomas decides to retire? If the draft goes as I expect it too in the top 3 picks, 1.)Cle- QB 2.) NYG- Barkley 3.) Qb with trade-up from someone; would the browns draft Nelson from ND? He's considered the best prospect outside of Barkley in the draft and even though he is a guard, some believe he can play tackle. The other option would be to put him at guard and kick Bitonio out at left tackle. The other option could be to trade down to with the Bills and potentially grab a guy like Conor Williams at 12

    Or....after all that,   Joe decides to unretire and to come back and play?

    Mary Kay still rubs one off every night at the thought of Jimmy G in her boudoir.

  • Joe Thomas said that he will announce his future plans before FA begins.

    Well guess what...free agency starts tomorrow.

  • I'd like Soldier and JT. When JT retires, he can coach our O-Line, or do his podcast and make it the best Browns podcast ever.

  • Looks like he's headed to the Giants.  Big contract.

    Yep, I'm glad the Browns didn't overpay for a guy who may have been the best LT in FA. . .but he's not worth 60 million.

    Also of note, Nate Solder suffered a torn bicep injury in 2015, which is the same injury that sidelined Joe Thomas.

    The good news being that it seems that a guy can come back from that injury 100%.

    I think Joe comes back.

    Yeah- looks like the G-Men are paying Solder $2 million more a season than what we would have been paying Joe. Tour, and we take Humboldt State dude Phi Beta Cappa in one of the lower rounds as a project? What ya think?
