NFL Trade Deadline: November 3rd 4 PM ET

Nothing to do but to wait another 5 hours. I'm getting the feeling that we've already done with our trades (and did quite well BTW), and the only additions we are going to see on the roster will come from FA.

If the Pats do make a trade, we won't know anything about it until the very last minute.

More like after the last minute. 4PM will role around and we will find out at 4:15 after having to wait and think "did they really not make a move?"

And what happend if Vollmer goes down? Think about that one, Im sure a CB would be nice, but LT is close to a must have.

The "if X goes down" is a good method to create urgency at nearly every position, though.

We need more than that Schefter.

Yeah really. Good inside stuff there.

True. Although to be honest, I am not expecting any big moves.

Peyton is definitely retiring after this year.

Not so sure about that. A player with that big of an ego would almost certainly want a ton of attention during every road game for his "one last tour" go around. Doubt he's the kind of guy to keep a secret like that.

At this point, they've helped tailor the team with the strongest defense and running game balance that he's ever had. He very well could play in 2016, and he's stated such.

Agree but about all other positions we have a replacement, not so much at LT unless you know the time table on Cannon?

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
To be specific, Browns were asking two 1st-round picks for OT Joe Thomas. They won't get that.

CLEVELAND

I could see him making that announcement the week they play us, to fire up his team and the crowd for the game as well as for the final stretch. Either that, or right before the playoffs.

They wanted TWO first rounders for Thomas....LOLOLOL

wouldn't be surpised if he told the whole team already...you know, "win it for peyton" just like ray lewis went out a few years ago. that ravens super bowl still makes me sick to my stomach.

Except Ray Lewis announced it to the whole world ahead of the season, and it was discussed in depth during every single game.

Does Manning really seem like the kind of guy to NOT want that attention? I highly doubt it. Had they started 0-7, it may have been a different story. It's hard to believe that he'd go through all that trouble to pick up that new scheme only to retire in complete secrecy during the same year.

Who's this year's Johnny Manziel that they can blow it on? Cardale Jones?

No doubt. Since they got their team back, they've struck out on first round picks probably 70% of the time. They've done well drafting offensive linemen, but little else. As far as QBs go, I'm not a fan of any of this year's prospects at the moment. If they dive in again, then they'll be looking for another one in a few years.

I do know the timetable on Cannon. I'm not allowed to say, though.
