    That's impossible. The only scenario I can see this happening in is if the Jets have the No.4 pick and the Browns have the No. 19 which they get on a tie-break. If they just get the No.19 pick outright, then the trade is off as well.

    Zero interest. Lots of hype, oversized ego in an undersized body together with a below average arm. Not a compatible fit by any stretch of the imagination.

    I'm all for that. Broadway Johnny. The offense needs a little bit of swagger.

    Here is a better idea. Let's offer the Bears our 7th round pick from last year, for Cutler, Marshall, Jeffery, Forte, and their 2015 and 2016 1st round picks.

    No way. We had a chance to draft him and we didn't. We won't trade for him.

    I would never do the trade myself. Manziel won't be shit in the NFL. He left Texas A&M and they are still scoring a ton of points, and Mike Evans has been really good this year already. That's all I need to know, he was a product of the system. The only way I do the trade is to get Josh Gordon, and even then that's obviously a huge risk.

    Our O-Line is a MESS and the only type of QB that even has a shot at success is a Frank Tarkenton part two type QB. Know of any young scramblers with a knack of making something out of nothing? Unless your ready to spend our next 3 first round picks on the O-Line, forget about trying to get a traditional NFL ready pocket passer.

    Me? I'm ready to spend our next 3 first round picks on the O-Line.

    It'll never happen but i'd be all for that move. I think Manziel is going to be good.

    manziel is not all that NYC would kill him.
    Sign a wr draft a qb then draft online me use the cap to sign another ol. Kill a few chickens to make sure the dbs stay healthy and they don't draft another 1st rnd corner

    Talk about destroying the franchise, that is exactly what would happen if you bring Manziel here.

    QB is our biggest need. We need a new one next season. Dependable O lines can be patched together. Franchise QBs are not all that common. You have to keep draafting them until you find one - otherwise you will be mostly mediocre.

    There have been enough scouts and league talent evaluators that say Manziel will thrive in the league. Don't know what I'd give up for him in a trade, but I'd at least entertain the thought of acquiring him.

    Sounds like someone we all know that now plays for the Jets.

    This is a senario I would like. Out of the box thinking, we would get a #1 QB, #1WR and possible still draft a #1CB.

    Do you think Jonny would wear a mink coat?

    At least we know Mike Petine was the brains behind the operation here. He has Cleveland playing good, and Rex just .......well you know.

    I'm scratching my head wondering exactly what pieces exist to subsequently be destroyed?

    Sorry I can't let that one slip by:
    Browns have a solid line
    Stud TE
    Stud WR-albeit troubled and not playing
    shutdown corner ( we have no corners)
    #1 running back-Tate

    *****WE HAVE NONE OF THESE*****
