Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins combined forces with offensive tackle Joe Thomas to create a very successful podcast called 'The ThomaHawk Show.' The two have spent a lot of time together which means that Hawkins has had more access to the lineman than anyone with the exception of his family.

Hawkins revealed that he has a 'gut feeling' that Thomas returns for a 12th NFL season.

Andrew Hawkins says “gut feeling” is his podcast partner Joe Thomas will return next season for #Browns. Says he has no inside info. Just a feeling.

Thomas is hoping to make a decision before free agency opens Mar. 14.

“I’d like to make a decision before free agency to give the Browns the best opportunity to prepare for everything that happens in the off-season. Whether I’m going to come back or retire, I think, from their perspective, having a certain need going into free agency is important," Thomas said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

The 33 year old was selected No. 3 overall in the 2007 NFL Draft. He has made ten Pro Bowl appearances in his career and is a sure-fire first ballot Hall of Fame inductee. The Wisconsin product played 10,363 consecutive offensive snaps. He tore his triceps tendon earlier this season against the Tennessee Titans.

Thomas would have a cap hit of $14.25 million next season.

channeling his inner Butch Davis may not be wise

but honestly, I think he does too ... I hope so at least

If so, that's great news.

Did he say anything about winning a single game too?

I want more of Joe, please. Hope Hawkins is right.

As to "gut going", I thought that was a Romeo Crennel thang for awhile, the nonsense about the mystery starter at qubee week after week. But i am quite possibly wrong and admit my memory may not be quite correct. Trust me.

Romeo was the coin flip. Butch was the gut feeling.

haha yeah i thought so

I think Joe comes back for one more year but tells the FO to get his replacement asap.

He has 1 more year in him...

My gut feeling? Joe will come back for one more year.

I think he gives it one more chance and if we show success, I think he'll return for yet another year.

What I’m the thinkin’ too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Joe played a few more seasons. He is obviously itching to get back on the field. When he was doing interviews at the Super Bowl his tone was very desperate, like Gruden level desperate to get back on that field. I'm happy we'll have him back.

I could see JT sign for another 3 years ... JMHO
