Browns looking to trade Alex Mack and Joe Thomas
Browns looking to trade Alex Mack and Joe Thomas
The news is rather surprising given that Thomas is under contract through 2018 -- he has no guaranteed money for 2016 -- and Mack, who was almost lost in free agency to the Jacksonville Jaguars a season ago, has a no-trade clause. Mack -- who was listed by our Marc Sessler as a prime trade candidate earlier this week -- can opt out of his long-term deal after this season, though, which could be a motivating factor. Still, this is an interesting and rather unorthodox approach to the trade deadline. The team likely feels they can replace Mack with 2015 first-round pick Cam Erving and slot one of their other highly-regarded offensive linemen in for Thomas. Rapoport added that the team is also open to dealing former high-priced free agent acquisition Paul Kruger and Barkevious Mingo, the No. 6 overall pick from the 2013 draft. This, after already dealing Trent Richardson, their No. 3 overall pick from the 2012 draft. If you're just now sensing a pattern here, catch up. This is Browns football. This would be the ultimate white flag raised on the 2015 season considering the Browns were going to hang their hat on the run game. Thomas has been one of the franchise's greatest players and, in a way, a trade to a contending opponent would be bittersweet. On one hand, he could finally put his skills to better use, but on the other, he would be departing a team that hinged on his professionalism for years. Many of these talks often break down but scars from certain names leaking remain. So if general manager Ray Farmer is interested in getting it done, the clock is ticking. Nov. 3, 4 p.m. ET is coming quite soon. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...and-joe-thomas |

Why would he go to Denver? According to CP improving the Oline doesn't make any different to a shitty QB and Manning has been one of the worst this year.

He's playing solid now and if he stays healthy he should continue to do so.

They key to winning a Super Bowl is having a balanced team that's well coached. Only time this team is balanced is when they suck. Get rid of the shit dick QB and build a well-rounded squad. |

Id trade for Vontae Mack. Hell, he was a former #1 overall linebacker.

Alex Smith and Fisher were both #1 overalls.

I severely doubt they do this. He's been solid this year.

A team like Tennessee or Tampa could trade a 2nd that will essentially be a late first to put an all pro LT in front of their shiny new qb.

Not sure why you just wouldn't put Fisher back at RT, who has at least been serviceable.
From there you just need to sort out your shit Guard situation. |

This is the most Cleveland thing ever. Joe Thomas has repeatedly said he has no interest in leaving so you put him on the trade block.
Mack makes total sense. He's leaving after the season anyway.

Not likely, but getting one would be cool. It's a dream though, won't happen.

![]() @RapSheet: On the #Browns: I hear they want more than a 1st for Joe Thomas, wanted a 3rd for Alex Mack, want a 3rd for Mingo. Steep on all accounts.
