Anybody want a Brown?

Per a report from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns have said they are willing to part with any player on their roster via trade, with only two exceptions. The two "non-negotiables" are OT Joe Thomas and LB D'Qwell Jackson (link)

Sources have said the Browns are willing to part with any player except left tackle Joe Thomas and linebacker D'Qwell Jackson. They also would like to move down from the No. 5 spot in the draft.

The names of Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Braylon Edwards and Shaun Rogers have surfaced in trade rumors. The Browns haven't addressed the rumors -- they won't even confirm visits from free agents -- but Mangini and Kokinis consistently have said they would consider anything to improve the team.

Before anyone gets too excited, I don't see too many realistic possibilities for the Panthers.

Shaun Rogers, the #5 pick and the extra second rounder they got for trading Kellen Winslow would be a nice trade, but I don't realistically see it happening. And a Peppers swap for either Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn would be poor value even with those picks thrown in. No way I'd take that. And I don't really advocate trading for Braylon Edwards either.

More realistically, this is about how head coach Eric Mangini and GM George Kokinis feel about the players on their team. Naturally, they have every right to feel that way given that the team sucked last year.

Letting that info become public though? Stupid :frown2:

You're not going to trade the entire roster. The majority of those guys are still going to be on the team come the season opener. Thus, you need to build some kind of working relationship with them, not an easy thing to do for a coach who already has a rep for being aloof.

Coaching guys that already know you'd happily ship them off isn't easy. Thus, letting it be known that most of the team falls under that category? Not exactly a smart move :out:

Good god...GIVE ME JOSH CRIBBS...PLEASE! I have longed for him since I saw him in preseason 2005 in person..and wanted the Cats to try to sign him as a UFA a couple years ago.

I think the last team that did this (TB or KC last year maybe???) was in full on rebuilding mode.

Forgot about Cribbs, which is sad since I'm also a longtime fan :idea:

Running back depth plus special teams dynamite. He'd be ideal. Wonder what it would take to get him.

Being from Cleveland and all the talk on their Message Boards are the QB position. I think the Browns are going to mak Quinn thier starting QB this season. There is also rumor up there from my old man that they are looking to trade for another QB a back-up or something. It woud be a dumb move if they got rid of Quinn, or Cribbs I think. Anderson is likely the one on his way out if they can workout a deal with another team. Don't quote me on this the trade deal I think involves the Bucs and the Jets. I am not sure if there is any other team!

      Thielen traded

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak
