BaconHound Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Why? Joe wouldn't leave for a winner last year during the trade deadline what makes management think he's walking anytime soon? Or do the Browns just like to overpay players for no reason, smh. Sorry you got hurt Joe here's another $5 million we aren't going to spend it on talent anyway.

gumby73 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Joe does not have a choice to go to a winner..Management does..Joe likes Cleveland..Done nothing here to lose his job here..so trade him for whom? A PICK---HAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PICK---HAHAHAHA Teams expressed interest in Joe last year before the trade deadline and he told management he wanted to stay in Cleveland. I have nothing against Joe but he was inked through 2018 and I see no reason to spend more on a guy who is already signed, especially without an extension.

gumby73 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 32 teams would not sign JT to a extension at this point..Doctors can't even predict if he may play again? This increase makes JT the top paid LT going into the 2018 season which He's Earned..When we still pay the likes of Farmer,Petine than watch Osweiler play on our dime? Paying JT is nothing to bark about right now..If Franchise Stupidity pay was just payable to JT? He's welcome to it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You earn your contract and if you don't you get cut. This is simple. Osweilier was paid for a pick and coaches and GMs get paid after being fired constantly. This is NFL 101 but hey Joe's a good guy.

That would be an interesting question to ask everyone: Who are the best five players to play for the Browns since '99? Thomas is obviously #1, Phil Dawson is on that list.... then it gets interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fauking team is 1 -23 under this logic, the FO and coaching staff are at odds, we just saw a scrub play LT pretty much as well as JT did, and with JT facing rehab and collecting Social Security benefits............these a$$holes focus on THIS meaningless bullschidt? Hey, who am I to stop self deprecating behavior. Hell, man, give him Haslams pay scale for all I care. Hell, fire everyone and just send Joe Thomas out on the field. Joe THomas, Joe Tomas, Joe Thomas.............................. That's what the Browns need to do to keep the rebuild going as well as it has............focus on a lard ayus. Fauhking idiots.

flyingfooldoug Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Looks like he is about the only player to get a raise too. Things must not be going so well in Berea if the only player to get a raise is your best one and he's s on IR. At least our big$ QB gets to play today.

Sorry $3. Completely under contract for next season with no discussion of him leaving Cleveland. The Patriots would not have made this move.

There have been teams reported to have interest. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-trade-deadline-rumors-heres-what-the-browns-want-for-star-tackle-joe-thomas/ My point is Joe isn't actively saying he wants out. He has made in known several times he wants to stay in Cleveland. If he has said to management, "I expect my bonuses or I'm walking" I'm fine with the team paying him but make that known. Sashi can walk up to the mic and say Joe Thomas asked to be the highest paid O-Lineman and based on his past performance in Cleveland we decided to make it happen. The Browns would be one of the few, if not only, NFL team to pay a player for past performance but hey guys can feel great about wearing their Thomas jersey.

Successful NFL teams have treated talent horribly in the name of winning and their fan base seems ok with it. In recent memory the Pats and Eagles come to mind.
