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!

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
