Wondering what people think about the potential for the browns to be active at trade deadline? We're in first place despite not playing our best football (Monken's own words - echoed by Quincy) ...
I don't see us being sellers. The only guys that seem to make sense would be Sanders or Gabriel. Not sure there is a trade partner needing either - Berry reportedly likes Sanders. I'd be happy if Gabriel is the back up for the next 2-3 years.
I can see Berry beating the bushes and maybe being a buyer - OL help maybe? Depth at CB? It seems to me that we know we want to upgrade at QB next draft ... but being in first place, having the opportunity to potentially be in the playoffs this season should be enough motivation for a moderately aggressive trade here or there. a 4th or 5th rounder packaged for someone else's middle of the road/average OL who could challenge our roster to become a starter along the line. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this happened.
We might sit tight wanting to keep every piece of draft capital for the draft and targeting out future FQB ... but ... as well as 2027 draft capital Berry has shown a willingness to pull from future drafts so preserving those mid round picks if there is a real opportunity to add this year seems less important to me.

I don't think we do anything. Maybe we still pick someone from a practice squad at some point.
Just as a question, who made the report about Berry liking Sanders? Berry usually doesn't say much during the season. He sometimes says things during the bye but I don't recall him saying much this go around. Probably since it was early this year.

All the talk about trading Jeudy kind of got blown up after the last game.
Jeudy can be effective if DW plays better.
If there is a chance to add to the OL without a big loss of draft capital. Same goes for the DL.
This is a weird team to dissect. We actually are a good team without a good quarterback.
Cleveland has gone 51 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer and has held opponents to touchdowns on less than half of their trips into the red zone.
That will keep you in games. We have to be better at scoring. Inside of that glaring need is we have offensive weapons. We have not been able to execute on offense.
The tape is clear DW is lousy until the fourth quarter. Go figure?

The comment about Berry liking Sanders was from the Athletic I am sure. It may be inaccurate I don't know but it's the only thing I have seen.
I think Berry has shown himself to be a little bit of a maverick on trades and more aggressive than your average GM - with Monken being a pretty aggressive/assertive ... win now sort of guy. I would hedge on us finding someone. Just an opinion.
