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.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder.
