Browns Could Trade Brady Quinn and Braylon Edwards Each for a First Rounder

This could really shake up a few mocks.

Quote:

1. Trade winds are blowing, and the Cleveland Browns seem to be making the most noise of any team. I hear from more than one NFL team that the Browns have a No. 1 pick on the table for Brady Quinn and are looking for more. However, it appears to the teams that I’ve talked to that the Browns will make the move to trade Quinn. There seem to be two teams very interested. They also will move Braylon Edwards and have at least a No. 1 pick on the table right now. Expect the Browns to have their team reshaped by the time the draft ends.

2. The Browns are really in love with Michael Crabtree at No. 5.

I'm surprised Quinn is worth a first, but I could see a QB-needy team (Jets, Broncos, others) in the back half liking him, especially if Sanchez and Stafford are gone.

I could see Quinn going to the Jets pretty easily. They're a veteran team with no steady QB after Favre retired. As for Edwards, I'm not sure where his market value is or who would cough up a first for him but it wouldn't shock me if the Cowboys make overtures.

Gee, if they trade Winslow, Quinn and Edwards that almost cleans out their first-round choices of the past few years (other than Joe Thomas).

They could both fly to NY together. Edwards would/could replace the gun slinger, Burress.

Good point.

So are these trades and others being considered by teams because players asking for too much compensation?

Braylon.....maybe.

Quinn is still in the beginning of a multi-year deal, so I wouldn't think he would have a leg to stand on.
