The Cleveland Browns are insisting they won't trade Joe Thomas before the Nov. 1st deadline.

"We are not going to trade Joe Thomas," Hue Jackson said. "Joe Thomas has a lot to do with what we're trying to accomplish here in the future."

Thomas has played every snap at left tackle for the Browns since he was the third overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.

The Browns are clearly in rebuilding mode but aren't interested in trading Thomas, who they almost dealt last season to the Denver Broncos.

"We. Are not. Going. To trade. Joe. Thomas," said Jackson.
