Browns Will Entertain Trade Offers

The Browns Board

  • Browns have been entertaining trade offers for McCoy since 2 years ago, and have received exactly zero offers.

    I hope absolutely nothing is done this offseason -- because the available QB talent is simply not there to merit the resources. Moore and Manuel simply aren't upgrades -- keep talking them up as much as anyone wants, but consistency is absolutely nonexistant.

    Next year, however, four QB's will go in the top ten picks : Bridgewater, Manziel, Boyd, and David Fales from San Jose State.

    The point is NOT that I like our current roster. The point is that the Browns have only a set amount of resources, and I want the Browns to pursue players that will give the greatest improvements in [ (Dollars spent) / (INCREASE in performance achieved from our current roster) ]

    If we get the BEST available FA LB and DB, we'll have a much better team in 2012 than if we flop QB's and keep the same LB/DB. We have the cap space today to sign Paul Kruger, Phillip Wheeler, Dashon Goldson [FS], and Keenan Lewis.

    Also -- Hey, Browns front office: Stop starting undrafted rookie FA's at free safety. No.

    Manuel was suggested as a project QB, not as a replacement starter for what we have on the roster.

    I fully expect Weeden to be the starter this season, all season. No DA, no Moore. It will be Weeden.

  • If I were the Browns I would seriously consider selecting Geno Smith. I've heard nothing but positives so far in this year's draft process, similar to RG3's rise last year. Keep Weeden to compete for the starting job and cut/trade Colt.

    ^agree 100%.

    also i've seen mentioned a couple times here and in other threads that colt will wind up being the backup in green bay. why would they want mccoy when their offense right now is predicated on the vertical passing game and as we know mccoy doesn't possess those skills?

    Green Bay's passing offense is more heavily predicated on flooding the secondary at every level and having the QB make the right choice. You will rarely, if ever, see a passing play from them where they target a single area with multiple routes a la New England or Denver.

    They have has the benefit of having two successive strong armed and accurate QBs as starters, but all that is really required is having tremendous football intelligence and good decision making skills. Their backups have been Graham Harrell and Matt Flynn, two QBs with less than stellar arm strength but with a great grasp of their offensive philosophy.

    Colt would fit in well there. If we had adapted their offensive philosophy, I would have loved to see Colt become our starter. That is a situation I believe he will thrive in.
