Kind of hard to see why the Browns would trade him though, even for a 1st. Let's assume the Broncos at least make the AFCCG with Thomas. That's pick 28-32. For Joe Thomas. What are you going ot do, use that pick on another LT, who won't be as good but will last 10 years (if you're lucky) instead of 4 like Thomas will, and at cheaper dollars.

Doesn't really make a ton of sense to me for the Browns to do it without some added sweetener. Joe Thomas is **everything** you want on your team, at a position of high value. You build around guys like that, you don't sell them.

But, hey, it's the freaking Browns.

Yeah, the OL has been a hot mess all year... with a rookie (Ty) starting over there for a while and is now on IR. The OL could certainly use Joe Thomas without a freaking hesitation... which is probably why CLE is asking for more, it's a definite need for Denver with a 39 year old QB and struggling run game.
