Reports: Browns could stage fire sale before trade deadline

Going into Sunday's game against the Cardinals at 2-5, the Browns are just about out of the playoff race barring a miraculous second-half run.

That could mean that Cleveland could be a big seller before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. According to multiple reports, the Browns are shopping several of their best players.

The #Browns have engaged in discussions about potentially trading two of their best players: LT Joe Thomas and C Alex Mack, sources say.
