The Browns are 0-7, and finishing the season winless feels like a real possibility. Since Cleveland is going nowhere, many have speculated that the team might be willing to trade left tackle Joe Thomas, who's been a Pro Bowl selection in each of his nine seasons and is widely considered to be among the best at his position.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson, clearly tired of the continued focus on this possibility, attempted to put an end to the rumors Monday.

Thomas, 32, is in his 10th NFL season with the Browns and has never missed a game due to injury.
