Title: Browns shopping OL stars Post by: mecadonzilla on November 03, 2015, 12:58:01 am So, the Browns are shopping Alex Mack (center) and Joe Thomas (LT) on the eve of the trade deadline. Supposedly, C and LT are the positions that we don't need, but if a great OL player can be nabbed, why not consider it? This line could use an infusion of any kind of talent.

Title: Re: Browns shopping OL stars Post by: Sunstroke on November 03, 2015, 03:40:58 pm The asking price for pro bowl linemen like Thomas and Mack (no UNLV reference) would have to be insanely high.
Title: Re: Browns shopping OL stars Post by: CF DolFan on November 03, 2015, 03:57:14 pm They want 2 first rounds picks for Thomas. Obviously they aren't really looking to get rid of him.
I sure wish we'd brought that mean guy back here. Richie Incognito, G, Bills (one year, $1.1 million, 91.3 overall grade) The Bills acquired Incognito for practically nothing in the offseason, and he has responded by producing the third-best PFF grade among guards. Incognito has been almost equally good as a run blocker (89.7) and as a pass protector (87.9), allowing just three QB hits and hurries, tied for sixth among guards is pass blocking efficiency.

For Thomas they wanted 2 first round picks, no team was giving up that. So I'm not sure Cleveland was serious about trading either honestly. Deadline came and gone and out of the 4 guys they wanted to move they moved none. If they wanted to clean house and stockpile picks they would have found a way to move those guys |
