[Music] on today's video we're going to talk about the recent trade rumors coming out regarding Dorian Thompson Robinson as the Browns might be open to trading one of their four quarterbacks so our story really begins with Zach Jackson from the athletic putting out this report the Cleveland Browns have discussed a potential trade of seconde quarterback Dorian Thompson Robinson with multiple teams two League sources with knowledge of the discussions told the athletic the first thing that popped in my head when I read that was trade DTR for an offensive tackle now it might not shape up that easily like the teams that are calling about DTR do they have a good tackle worth trading for do they have a tackle they're worth giving or they're willing to give up but when I saw that I thought day three pick swap offensive tackle like this could be a simple hey there are two two teams that have a surplus at one position and have a need at another position and they could help each other out team like that could be without knowing much about their offensive tackles the Minnesota Vikings I mean we saw last year they were willing to trade for a quarterback when Kirk Cousins went down JJ McCarthy goes down and they watch DTR in the joint practices and in the preseason game Vikings could be an option but do they have a tackle they're willing to give up and the Browns would like to trade for because the Browns need some help on the offensive line we all know it by now Jed Wills Jack Conlin still on the pup list and there's really no clear idea or picture as to when they could be getting off the pup list and if they are on the pup list to open up the 20204 season they will miss a mandatory four games to begin the season so Jed wills and Jack Conlin on the pup list has me concerned with week one against the Cowboys being a little over two weeks away the Browns should start to have a little bit of fire beneath them trying to figure out an option at left tackle because James Hudson last year didn't really give us much inspiring football and he's dealing with an ankle injury right now and that's someone who if he is going to start at left tackle week one needs every single possible rep right now to get ready for Micah Parsons and the Cowboys but going back to the possibility of trading DTR so far in the preseason he's 27 for 35 263 yards and one interception after a 2023 season where he appeared in a handful of games made some starts my two cents on DTR last year I thought he improved every single game that he started in from the Ravens game to the Broncos game so I don't look at those stats stats as DTR stunk last year I look at those stats as DTR was kind of just tossed in the fire in his first NFL start against the Ravens which is probably the worst team to be having like your first NFL star come against when you're not prepared for it at all and after that I saw improvements made by DTR but he was still a fifth round rookie quarterback and it showed in a lot of ways but I thought he had a pretty nice training camp in preseason going into the final game like coming off a hip injury he was making some nice plays and having some nice throws so I have more to share on the possibility of trading DTR and what you could get for him but first I want to tell everyone watching about game time if you're trying to catch a Browns game a

Huntley did in preseason week two the answer is you're going to get a better return for DTR he's got this year and then two more years left on his rookie contract whereas Huntley is on a one-year vet minimum deal so if a team trades for Huntley it's a rental for 2024 with DTR they've got him on a cheap rookie contract for two additional Seasons so if they like what they see out of him this year they don't have to give him a contract in free agency whereas with Huntley you would either be walking or getting another deal so I think you get a better return for DTR which is why teams would be more interested in him even if they are DTR and Huntley really close in evaluations I think teams are going to be more lowed and Drawn to Dorian Thompson Robinson now what could you get for him lower whatever you're thinking fifth probably a six Josh dobs got traded for a fifth round pick last year I would say last year Josh dobs had more value than Dorian Thompson Robinson does right now like dobs looked really good in the preseason dtrs looked solid especially in the first preseason game but I would say Josh jobs a preseason prince who by the way continues his magic even with the 49ers if he got a fifth you're probably looking at a day three pick swap with DTR like you send away DTR in a seventh and you get a six round draft pick back so they should not or the Brown Excuse me fans should not have big hopes and beliefs of getting a ridiculous return for him you drafted him with a fifth round pick and you're probably not going to get a fifth round pick back now Tyler Huntley is another possible trade candidate for the Browns uh in his career he's made nine starts for the Baltimore Ravens nearly 20 thou uh 2 2,000 passing yards eight touchdowns seven interceptions he even started a playoff game and you know was pretty close up until that 99 yard touchdown by the Bengals in the fourth quarter but I think the plan for the Browns might be let's get an offensive tackle for DTR or A fifth or sixth round draft pick and sneak Tyler Huntley on our practice squad right we can release Huntley like lik goes unclaimed put him on the Browns practice squad whereas if you release DTR remember when you wave a player if a team claims them they pick up their contract and a team might put a claim in for a guy who's got two years left on his rookie contract for a very cheap amount so I don't think you're getting DTR through the waiver wire but you're probably going to get Tyler Huntley and you put him on your practice squad and now you've got an additional roster spot that doesn't have to be used at the quarterback room although I'm not opposed to the the Browns putting three quarterbacks on their 53 man roster they learned last year how valuable that position is but at the end of the day if you take one thing away from this video let it be this we are talking about qb3 every single year it's Groundhog Day Groundhog Day for all NFL fans Not unique to Browns fans where we read way too much and make too big of a deal out of backups and then the regular season gets here and we're like wow I can't believe that we wasted so much energy arguing with one another over trading Huntley or DTR when in reality 99% chance it won't matter because neither guy will see the field I know last year was a little bit of an anomaly but I'm not going to bank on the Browns starting five quarterbacks in consecutive season so ultimately just remember we are talking about qb3 but with that being said I will give you guys the microphone to conclude the video would you trade Dorian Thompson Robinson let me know in the comment section below whether or not you would trade him I want to bring on producer trzy Trace Trace which card do you want to go with to wrap up wrap up
