I wonder who that depth might be? Could it be Matthews, Richardson, Lockette? How about TE Luke Willson?
On the other hand, the Browns are said to be talking about moving Center Alex Mack and LT Joe Thomas.
Might there be something that could be done there?
How about a draft pick and Okung for Thomas? Thomas is 31, but he's still playing pretty well and isn't as injury prone.
I suspect it would depend on if the Browns could sign him long term.

Not much left of the 9'er rivalry...

I'd jump at the chance to get Joe Thomas but I doubt we could afford him even if the Browns were to bite on a relatively reasonable offer, but who knows.

kalibane wrote:I didn't say it was realistic but someone asked how to get salaries to match. Okung is the logical player if you're getting Thomas. Also if you're trading Thomas it makes sense to get a Tackle in return. Obviously there would have to be draft pick compensation in such a deal as well.
kalibane wrote:Look, trading draft picks mid season for Joe Thomas is a win now move. A bad team likely won't want to give up first round + other picks for him when they'll be drafting high and need a transformational player. So now Cleveland has to find a playoff caliber team with room to fit Joe Thomas under their cap, not exactly easy. Also if they are trading Thomas they are probably trying to dump salary so Okung actually helps them do that while at the same time giving them an 8 week try out for a cheaper LT option to replace Thomas instead of the crapshoot that is college LT evaluation.
I don't think Thomas will be moved period but it's not even close to the craziest trade I've seen.

c_hawkbob wrote:As for this question; I don't know if Wiz preferes traditional drop back passers or if that's just the type of QBs he's had or were available to him. I think to answer this you'd have to do some homework regarding QBs he (or teams whose decisions he may have significantly influenced) drafted and what other QBs were available when the choice was made.
