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!

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
