Are the Browns getting close to trading Quinn and Edwards?
According to a report by the National Football Post, the Browns have received offers for quarterback Brady Quinn and wideout Braylon Edwards and are likely to eventually move both players.
The Cleveland Browns have been engaging in talks to trade quarterback Brady Quinn and wide receiver Braylon Edwards, according to our own Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post.
Lombardi reports he is hearing from multiple league sources that the Browns have a first round pick on the table for Quinn, but may be looking for more. Two teams are currently interested in Quinn’s services.In addition, Lombardi is hearing that the Browns have a first round pick on the table for wide receiver Braylon Edwards and will most likely trade him before the start of next season.
One other note: Lombardi is hearing the Browns are very interested in Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
What’s interesting about the speculation surrounding Cleveland trading Quinn and Edwards is that it isn’t dying down. Even though these are still only rumors, at this point you have to kind of buy into the notion that new head coach Eric Mangini and GM George Kokinis want to blow up the roster and start fresh. They want their own players and that means guys like Quinn, Edwards and Kellen Winslow (who was already dealt this offseason to the Bucs) will eventually be sold to the highest bidder. The Browns are going to be one of the most interesting teams to follow leading up to the draft.
For what it’s worth, I had the Browns taking Crabtree with their first round pick in my second mock, assuming that Edwards would be dealt on or around draft day. But they could also be looking at USC quarterback Mark Sanchez at No. 5 so he could groom under Derek Anderson for a year or two.

Anthony, you need to take a break. It’s Easter man. Looks like maybe you knew what you were talkin about with your last mock. Would like to see the leo’s go after either of their qb’s so they don’t draft a junior qb.
Haha – thanks Jimmywat!
No rest for the weary, brother! Maybe the Lions will take a look at Quinn and then go with either Smith or Curry at No. 1. Who knows? Options galore…
Interesting stuff.
If they can get a #1 pick for Edwards they should jump at that deal. He only has one year left on his contract.
As for Quinn, I have no problem with a trade if they can get a #1 pick and then if they can land Sanchez with the #5 pick.
