Trade rumblings involving Browns' Joe Thomas, Alex Mack, Paul Kruger, Barkevious Mingo surface

The names of left tackle Joe Thomas, center Alex Mack and outside linebackers Paul Kruger and Barkevious Mingo have surfaced in reports about who the Browns could potentially trade before the NFL's deadline for deals at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

The Browns would likely need to be blown away to trade Thomas or Mack.

Thomas, an eight-time Pro Bowler, has said several times he wants to be in Cleveland. Thomas, 30, signed a seven-year, $80.5 million extension in 2011 and is under contract through 2018. There is no guaranteed money in his contract next season.

Mack, a two-time Pro Bowler, has a no-trade clause in his contract and would need to waive it for a trade to go through.
