The Trade nobody wants to talk about suggested by Jason La Confora: Joe Thomas to us for a 1st rounder.

31 years old, but would solve our LT issue for the next 2-3 years.  

Gettlemen would never do it, because Gettlemen isn't that kind of GM.  You know, the one that's actually had a Franchise LT in his whole career.

But man, it would be nice to solidify the Left Tackle position for a few years.  

Also, winning a Super Bowl is a must for the fan base RIGHT NOW.  So, if it put us over the hump to win one, I'm all for it.  Whether it has us suck for a year or two or not.

A 1st round pick for a 31 year old LT who will likely be on the decline soon? Hell no. A 3rd? Yeah, I'd do that. Sign me up for that. 

Especially since we're getting a compensatory 3rd for Norman next year.  Can't trade that pick but can trade our other 3rd

We just traded a fourth round pick for a punter................you think a teams going to give up their Franchise LT for a 3rd round pick?

That would depend on how much of a Cap hit he is, how good his backup is,  what other offers they get, and how soon Cleveland thinks they can be competitive.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
