BEREA, Ohio -- Joe Thomas was a happy tackle when he heard that coach Hue Jackson said the Cleveland Browns would not trade him at the Nov. 1 deadline.It feels good to be loved, Thomas said Wednesday.Monday, Jackson emphatically stated that Thomas would not be traded. Speculation had already started that the Browns might deal him, but Jackson was clear Thomas would not be dealt.Im hoping they stick to their word on that, Thomas said. I really want to be here and its important to me to be part of the turnaround.Thomas has played every down for the Browns since he was the third overall pick in the 2007 draft -- a streak of 151 games in a row. His streak of 9,388 consecutive snaps is the NFLs longest.Thomas has been to the Pro Bowl every season he has been in the league. He also has had just one winning season, and he has seen former teammates go elsewhere and win. Safety T.J. Ward won a Super Bowl in Denver last season after leaving the Browns.Doesnt Thomas want to experience that feeling?I do, he said. And I want it to be in Cleveland. Wholesale Custom Packers Shirts .
