So, then, the lede should be, "Cleveland wants it to be known they are absolutely willing to foist all of their unwise signings on anyone willing to give them something great in return."

This makes too much sense. They have about 10 million to spend and Mack is a perfect fit. Mingo is another guy they could really use.Oppo said:Maybe the Colts will bite
5a. It might be a longshot, but if I'm Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and director of player personnel Nick Caserio, I'm calling the Titans before Tuesday's trade deadline to see if there's anything that might entice them to trade cornerback Jason McCourty, the twin brother of Patriots safety Devin McCourty. Cornerback is the position where the Patriots are noticeably thin, and Jason McCourty is scheduled to earn base salaries of $7 million in both 2016 and 2017. Would the Titans, who played competitive pass defense without McCourty in three games to start the season and then last Sunday when McCourty left with a hamstring injury, see value in clearing salary while adding either a 2016 third-round pick or 2017 second-round pick? I'm just spit-balling here, which is the only type of fantasy football I play.
5b. If not McCourty, Chiefs cornerback Marcus Cooper remains a target I think could interest New England if Kansas City would consider trading him for a late-round pick. Cooper is hardly playing for the Chiefs this season. The Patriots tried to claim him on waivers back in 2013 when he was waived by the 49ers, but the Chiefs had priority and trumped them.
Ferm Sheller said:Reiss said on TV today that BB said that he didn't foresee either Stork or Andrews being able to play Guard -- he said that they're Centers only. Anyone think that we could see one of the two dealt (as Stork is due to come off IR soon)? Is so, what would the return look like?
Skins are incredibly tied for 2nd place in the NFC Least, which will probably be won by an 8-8 team.SeoulSoxFan said:A value trade proposal: Will Blackmon of the Redskins. He signed short money at only $0.8m and is a UFA in 2016. He's 31 years old this year.
Only allowing 14.9 snaps per reception, good for 15th in the league. He was cut by the Seahawks before joining the Snyders at the start of this season. No off the field issues, and generally considered a good locker room guy.
Another plus for Blackmon is that he can play both safety and the corner. Cheap, versatile, committed veteran pickup sounds like a BB trade deal to me.

Mingo traded to an actual NFL team? Him and Thomas would be amazing pickups. Whatever it takes this year. I would love to see Roger have to give this team the trophy 2 years in a row.SeoulSoxFan said:
Getting Mingo would be a coup, even if it's on a position group of strength. Couldn't you see BB putting him in situations where he could better utilize his talents?
Would Browns take a 4th?
Unless he is not actually talented. He is clearly athletic and was productive in college, but this wouldn't be the first time a player like that just didn't pan out in the NFL. Maybe you are right and he just is in a bad system for him, but I'm generally skeptical of guys with that type of draft perigee that have done zero this far into their career. Regardless of system.SeoulSoxFan said:

No one knows. He's been in the league for a few seasons and is an athletic freak. However maybe he just isn't in a good system it happens. The Browns haven't exactly picked well or developed young draft picks. It's a crap shoot but I'm willing to bet a 4th or 5th rounder on his athletic upside. If it works out I could see the Pats deploying him like Seattle did with Irvin.Super Nomario said:Why do people think Mingo is good?

Didn't the Patriots just use a third-rounder on a guy like this in Geneo Grissom?Tyrone Biggums said:No one knows. He's been in the league for a few seasons and is an athletic freak.

Sure, and the last 2.5 years have shown that that evaluation was dead wrong, because Jamie Collins is one of the five best players from that draft and Mingo can't get any run on a team that has the 8th-worst sack rate in the NFL.SeoulSoxFan said:I'm with TB here. The knock on Collins coming out was that he's raw and his impact was not easy to project. By all accounts Mingo was a better regarded prospect with a higher upside as a "freakish" athlete (Collins and Mingo were both drafted in 2013).
Why would they even trade for Mankins? Is the difference between him and Kline/Mason worth a draft pick at this point? They need OT help, the interior is fine.Stitch01 said:I doubt TB moves Mankins, they view him as the veteran leader in that locker room.
Speaking of, apparently Denver offered a 1st rounder to Browns for Joe Thomas.rodderick said:Why would they even trade for Mankins? Is the difference between him and Kline/Mason worth a draft pick at this point? They need OT help, the interior is fine.

I will breathe easier when the deadline passes. Elway's good. He is aggressive, smart and knows exactly how to play the hand he's holding right now.SeoulSoxFan said:Speaking of, apparently Denver offered a 1st rounder to Browns for Joe Thomas.
Glad he's not waiving his no-trade.
Would be nice, but similar to the speculation on Mankins, they're alright at safety. This team has needs at CB and OT, and considering they'll be entering the draft without a first and fourth round picks, I'd focus my trade capital on those two positions, unless an absolute steal of a deal presents itself, which seems doubtful.RedOctober3829 said:Wouldn't this be nice?

Yeah, I don't get it. Safety might be the most stacked position on the team.5dice said:It would be nice, but with the way that dmc, chung and harmon are playing, is that a need in a year where draft picks will be precious?
Rumor in Denver is that Cleveland also wanted Shaq Barrett and that is why the trade fell through.SeoulSoxFan said:Speaking of, apparently Denver offered a 1st rounder to Browns for Joe Thomas.
