Browns actively trying to tank season, their future

The Browns are apparently actively trying to trade four players including a pro bowler and hall of famer that are under team control for multiple year. They are trying to dismantle the offensive line by trading Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, while also trading the team's best pass rusher Paul Kruger (admittedly being the Browns best pass rusher doesn't take much) and outside linebacker and former first round pick Barkevious Mingo.

God I hate Ray Farmer, he needs to go now. He is literally the worst talent evaluator in the history of the NFL and as a Browns fan, I know something about bad talent evaluators. As an aside, if they trade Thomas, Mack and Mingo, the only first round draft picks left on the team would be Farmer selections, Danny "I can't move" Shelton with his 9.5 tackles this season and no sacks, Cam "I'm not good enough to see the field" Erving, Johnny Drunkard and Justin "Road Rage, No Play" Gilbert, who has three tackles and 0 pass defensed this season and has essentially become an 8th overall drafted decent kick returner.

EDIT: I stand corrected, I forgot about Joe Haden.

If they actually trade Joe Thomas then I dunno wtf they're doing. This is a team that's a good QB away from success. You've got the offensive line, you've got a pretty good defense. Why throw away what you have for a rebuild you don't even need to make at this point?

You don't start from scratch every other year and expect to be decent. Farmer is stupid.

I feel no sympathy for any other franchise, but my own. But, ya that is a shitty idea on the Browns part.

Apparently the Browns were pretty close to making a deal for Joe Thomas to the Broncos. There was a deal from Broncos on table for Thomas and a fourth rounder for Denver's 1st and 2nd round picks. The Browns wanted them to include their third rounder as well and that stopped the trade at deadline.
