Browns had an opportunity last year to trade their "best" player, Josh Cribbs & instead Holmgren gave in to stupidity of fans.  Of course, most of you disagreed with that last year.  Now, like everyone else on Browns, except Joe Thomas, he's worthless.

Hey, they're not my team.  This is a quote from his last contract negotiation: "As this past season dragged on, Browns fans sided with Cribbs and some of them started a "Pay the Man" campaign." 

In fact, guess who was the team talking trade?  You got it, the Dolphins, which prompted this Miami Herald article comment "the Browns are asking a second- or third-round pick for Cribbs".


If you never watch the team how do you know who would have trade value ?

With the NFL Ticket, there are a small handful of boring teams I just never watch.  I wonder how good their defense would be if opponents found themselves in "must score" situations.  Often, you only have to score 2 TDs so you play it conservative on offense.  So who on the Browns has trade value?


Dolfan   Brears division is stacked    i see them 3rd best if Lions stay healthy

No doubt that division is strong.  As you've already recently experienced, injuries can be the difference.  Why would you get down on your team who looked good until Cutler & then Forte went down?  And now you have Cutler's favorite receiver.  Bears are very much in contention with a better chance than Detroit, whose defense is very vulnerable.  Packers no lock either.

On the defensive side

Joe Haden

Scott Fujita (for leadership)

TJ Ward

D'Qwell Jackson


On the offense Alex Mack is a pretty good center and would probably start for most teams.

He asked for everyone but Joe Thomas.  Rubin is good though.

He also failed to mention Clay Matthews!  rflmao1

I'm glad there are at least 4 or 5 decent guys on the Browns with "trade value", considering they beat the Fins last year.  shootme

Clay Matthews' value went down once GM got rid of the Pontiac brand.

Not my team   Im a Titans fan    just think the Bears will struggle. I would like to see them go 0-16.

His position is not considered a 'skill' position.

Honestly, I don't know who's pick is worse, the Fins or the Browns.  By far the worst 2 picks in the top 10, IMO.  Other than lucking out with an Adrian Peterson you have to be nuts to focus on a RB for a top 10 pick, never mind a #3.  noway

Anyone notice the trend in the NFL that you need an adequate rushing game but a great passing game?  Best RBs in the league have been Chris Johnson, Peterson & before that, Tomlinson.  How many Super Bowl appearances?  This is NOT your father's NFL.

If he is good he can play for another 7 years.  Compared to the rest of Cleveland's QB's that will be a long time.   They should have signed a guy in free agency though instead of spending a first round pick on a QB.
