Quote:Even D6 admits CS3 is nothing more than a complimentary WR. :yes:

 

Thats why I later added the draft choice to pair with Shorts. 

 

But I was later told that the trade would be illegal via the CBA. 

 

  There's probably less than 32 WR's in the NFL that are true # 1 WR's.  CS3 seems to get the most out of his ability and can be a winning piece to the puzzle if key pieces to a puzzle at the skill positions are in place.    If CS3 was playing opposite A.J. Green with the Bengals for instance,   I think he would get plenty of national recognition and help the Bengals get back to the playoffs.   Calvin Johnson could have used a CS3 caliber WR opposite him last season when Nate Burleson went down for 7 games from an off the field accident.   

 

  Even with a middle round pick thrown in if the trade wasn't illegal via the CBA,   the Browns would be making a mistake if they made such a trade.   When / if the time comes for Johhny Manziel to start for the Browns,   a very high caliber veteran Center like Alex Mack would be invaluable for them.    For the Browns to justify trading Mack if they were allowed to trade him,   they would need something special in return for the trade to make sense for them.
