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

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.

Quinn would fit very well in Denver. The offense was a poor fit for Cutler but is a good one for Quinn (short passes, timing routes, completion % over a big arm and downfield attacking, lots of check offs to RBs and TEs, obvious similarities to Weiss's offense). Plus the Broncos have the two first round picks this year. I'd much rather spend one on Quinn then Sanchez/Freeman for what their offense is looking for.

The Broncos have Kyle Orton, so maybe they're not desperate for Quinn, but I agree that Quinn seems to be a pretty good fit for what I imagine the Broncos will be trying to do.

If they were to add Quinn, I'm not sure if they would send Orton to the Browns, somewhere else, or keep him though.

The Jets are a logical landing spot for Quinn, but that would require Eric Mangini sending him to his former team. Oh, the intrigue.

Edwards isnt worth a first round pick. Drops way to many balls.

If I'm the Eagles, with two late first rounders, I think really hard about giving up #28 for him, definitely.

Yeah, he drops balls. So does Terrell Owens. Actually, Angry Dre has been blamed for drops (and gotten better at it). Did you see the QB play in Cleveland last year, too?

I think after Crabtree, Edwards might be a pretty safe bet, and any team in need of a WR outside of the top ten with no hope of drafting Crabtree would consider Edwards. And Roy Williams sorta set the bar in terms of trade value when the Cowboys gave up a first rounder for him. Is Williams that much better than Edwards? I don't think so.

I don't recall Edwards dropping too many passes during the '07 season when he made the Pro Bowl. And IIRC, he made numerous circus catches that year. It seems most young WRs have a bout with the dropsies sooner or later. IMO, it's something he can correct and I'd be all over a trade for him if it only costs a late #1.

Some strange things are happening there in Cleveland for them to be giving up on all these young guys. Makes me think Mangini and their new GM won't be there for long. I'd probably be pertty ticked off if I were a Browns season ticket holder. Quinn hasn't even had any real PT for anyone (Browns included) to determine if he's any good, so they'd be lucky if anyone offered a #1 for him at this point.
