Joe Thomas

[thecore762]

Could we work out a package deal with the Browns with the JG trade and also pick up Joe Thomas? It be nice to have a veteran and one of the best o-linemen on our roster. He would be an upgrade big time.
Maybe the Browns let us have him for a 2nd rounder?
Sure he is 32, but still playing at a high level and hasn't been injured.

While I'm a fan of his, I just don't see why. Cannon was amazing last year and while Solder is not Joe Thomas, he is still a very good LT. If we were to look for other options for the LT spot, I would much prefer looking for someone in the draft to groom behind Solder.

Thomas is a helluva player but I think the T position here is pretty locked down.

An obvious waste of otherwise limited resources (pick + salary) as the tackle position is at least for next year in pretty good hands with Solder/Cannon. Add in a couple of OL via the draft (high/low) and see if one of them can be groomed to be our swing tackle and potential future starter.

I join those who think we are all set at the starting OT position, but I REALLY appreciate any thread that isn't suggesting a WR.

Solder is plenty adequate at LT....

Give me Joel Bitonio. Then we're talking.

Joe Thomas says Roger Goodell 'scurried' like a 'rat' at Super Bowl

He would have been a perfect Patriot. Hall of Famers like him, that spend their whole career in a place like Cleveland, should be allowed to leave for humanitarian reasons at some point.

Love Joe Thomas, great player. Would love to see him AS PART of a Jimmy G trade, but with the caveat that he comes with a 10m/year cap hit and at a position where the Pats seem set and need to develop YOUNGER talent.

Cleveland wants to throw him in and cool - we've got the cap space. But I still want that #1 pick or the #12 and a bunch more.

And if Brandon Cooks is worth a mid-1st-round pick, Jimmy G is worth a lot more. Cooks is good, but QB is king.

Solder is a free agent in 2018 so we will probably draft a tackle before we trade for Thomas.

 

[VectorPrime]

Joe Thomas has reportedly stood in the way of the Browns trading him on more than one occasion. For whatever reason he likes being in Cleveland.

 

[Gronkowski123]

His career has been wasted in Cleveland!

 

[Rob0729]

Sorry, but the Pats don't need a starting tackle especially not one with only one or two years left in him.

 

[n1997y]

why would the Browns trade for a QB and then deal away the best QB protector they've got?

Even the Jests wouldn't be that stupid.
