DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum TRADE DEADLINE!

I agree with the sentiment. However I still think GMs way over value the mid round draft picks. Demaryius Thomas is worth way more to anyone (especially a team like the Browns with a rookie QB having no WRs) than a 4th round pick.

I would never do the Cooper deal because early round picks are gold, and wouldn't do the Fowler deal either, but Tate/Thomas is worth more on this team than a 3rd/4th round pick will most likely become.

If it is just the player, then I agree with you. But the contract comes too. Tate is a free agent at the end of the season, Thomas is owed $15 million next season.

A team can hold on to there assets and still get average WRs during the off season. In the long run winning an extra game or two doesn’t help us.

With as much $$$ as the Browns have in cap room next year that is not really a problem though for Thomas (obviously Tate).

I'm not mad at Dorsey for not making a move, but it does bug me a little that we talk about making moves to help Baker's development and then don't spend a mid round pick to give him a competent WR. It goes back to my initial point....GMs way over value mid round draft picks.

I figure he didn't want to try to break in any new players with everything that went down yesterday. Why put more pressure on a new
head coach and offensive coordinator.

2-5-1.........No HC........Not going anywhere this year.......

Patience my fellow Dawg.....Not the time.........

Tanking the season. No point giving up picks for rentals when Dorsey knows we ain't doin' squat the rest of the year. Too bad so many other teams suck worse than we do or we'd be in contention for the #1 pick again.

No, teams like us fire coaches every year as if that will help.

We're now on our sixth coach since 2009.

That's crazy. This is Haslam's fourth coach since he bought the team, plus the FO people he's fired.

Good leaders identify good leaders. Bad ones usually don't - at best, they luck into them.

You should add that post to the Haslam should take 2 years off thread.

j/c:

The trade deadline is over and thank goodness we didn't try and trade for AJ McCarron again.

Hope to see some decent football yet this year. Just sorry for those who are trying.

I actually thought it was Dorsey that would have pulled that trigger.

I remember Hue in Dorseys office on HK giddy as a kid on Xmas "the eagle has landed the eagle has landed!", with John looking like "huh?"

Dorsey has no problem giving guys a chance - Hill, Callaway, etc. But I see him as a no BS guy - and the first hint of Josh slipping up, he ousted him.

Again, JMO.

LOL. Dorsey knows how to fake a fax machine error like Sashi.

There is nothing like another day of disappointment in the life of a Browns fan. The trade deadline passes and team management sits of its thumbs. I hear all this talk of WR this WR that. True we need WRs but if you dont get help for the OL whats the point? Teams dont even have to Blitz to get to our QB or collapse the pocket. Hard to put a pass in the hands of a WR (if he doesnt drop it anyway) if the QB is running for his life. Those first round picks are so important we may need to save them for a new QB cause Im not sure this one is going to survive the year.

Which O-line should we have traded for?

Some days are worse than others as a Browns fan,

But the trade deadline passing without a move?

It's gotta rank right up there in the top 45,000


Wait, no it doesn't it doesn't even come close.
Classic,
Welcome.

He's not a "Brown's fan." He is a "Baker fan."

What do two win teams normally do at the deadline? Nothing. Look at who got traded and who traded for them. 4 of the 5 players who got moved are free agents at the end of the year. The teams who traded for them are in 1st place or a game out of 1st.

We have 2 wins at the midpoint. Hopefully you grasp what that means. It means Golden Tate for an 8 game rental is not getting us to the post season. We are still rebuilding and smart rebuilding teams do not ship off a 3rd round pick to rent a slot receiver for 8 games.

And what OL was available that would have helped us?

Yeah, I am upset that we fired our coaches, but no sense making trades when you throw in the towel on a season. Can't blame Dorsey for that.

It was reported that we looked in to trading for Golden Tate, but I'm not sure how seriously. I wanted them to look at Parker from Miami, but doesn't seem like they did. I can't fault anyone for not making trades right now.

I don't think I would have given a 3rd for Tate, for a rest of the season rental. We aren't that team right now.

Miami reportedly wanted a high draft pick for Parker.

Right, I'm assuming we made the call to see what it would take, and got out well before a 3rd.

For Parker, he was inactive for quite a few games this year, and not all because of injury. He finally plays and puts up 130+ yards. I was thinking he would be cheap because he wasn't even playing, but apparently not.

FOr us, I would have been more likely to give up a pick for Thomas than Tate. I think he's the type of WR we need more

We have our own third and New England's third. We traded last year's third rounder for Taylor.

yeah, i thought we have both

This is the type of player you sell the farm for:



The Jaguars are a tire fire right now.

If true...
Gotta get that guy.

I think Ramsey is a brilliant player. Why are the Jags willing to trade him? If he's a malcontent at the Jags, what happens in Cleveland when there is a set back or something he doesn't like?

I don't know enough about the guy - but I'd be unlikely of giving up the farm for him.

if this is true 2 number1s and 2 number2s then make him the highest paid cornerback in the nfl
then sign Demarcus Lawrence and go to the Superbowl

There likely to consider ...

Thats what was reported ...

There likely to consider ...

We got a ways to go yet ... they may not (prolly won’t ... although if anyone won’t Purp up with a poop head its Coughlin and Marrone ...) ... they may not even consider it ... *L* ....

Why? ...

Has to be tude ... not a fan of mortgaging the farm for someone whose acting up somewhere else ...

This teams struggling .... this stuff comes more from frustration than anything else ...

gotta be his attitude (and it's probably worse now that they're losing)

All mouth and no brains....

Shefter's credibility is dropping by the minute. First Condie now this. He's either drunk tweeting or someone hacked his account.

I can’t remember the last time Schefter actually broke something of value.
