BEREA, Ohio -- Joe Thomas has taken his share of lumps with the Cleveland Browns. He is willing to absorb many more.The six-time All-Pro left tackle expressed his strong desire to remain with the team Wednesday rather than be traded to a contender.I do want to win a championship and I want to have it in Cleveland, Thomas said. I understand when youre a good older player on a team thats not winning, its natural to have your name out there.But when I first got here, my goal was to be part of turning the Browns into a consistent winner. We havent done that yet, so that means my mission is not complete.Thomas name has been floated around the NFL in advance of the Nov. 1 trade deadline. Browns coach Hue Jackson emphatically stated Thomas would not be dealt earlier in the week.That decision, however, is in the hands of football operations director Sashi Brown and team owner Jimmy Haslam III. They have not spoken on the subject, but the team did negotiate with Denver to trade Thomas last October.It feels good to be loved, so Im hoping they stick to (Hues) word on that, said Thomas, who will turn 32 on Dec. 4. Ive had the experience of going through this before -- my sense is that a trade was close last year -- but I try not to worry about something I have no control over.Obviously, I really want to be here. Its important for me to be part of the turnaround.The 6-foot-6, 312-pounder is one of eight players in NFL history to be selected for the Pro Bowl in his first nine seasons. The other seven are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Cleveland drafted Thomas with the third overall pick in 2007, which also was the last time it finished with a winning record. The Wisconsin product has played in all 151 games and for 9,388 offensive snaps, but has never qualified for the playoffs.The Browns are 0-7 heading into their Sunday home game against the New York Jets, making them 47-104 since Thomas came aboard.I still want to be part of it and I really respect the coaching staff, he said. I think Jimmy got it right by hiring Hue and his staff, and I think Sashi and the guys upstairs are doing a great job. I think all the pieces are here, its just going to take a little bit of time.Thomas has personal and professional reasons for wanting to stay in Cleveland, where he and cornerback Joe Haden are the faces of the franchise. He is an investor in a suburban barbeque restaurant that will open soon, and is beloved by local fans.Case in point: Thomas was shown on the scoreboard at Game 1 of the World Series between the Indians and Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. He also filmed a congratulatory message for the Cavaliers concurrent NBA championship ceremony, receiving loud cheers at both Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena.My wife (Annie) and I certainly feel like were Clevelanders, Thomas said. Just because you werent born somewhere doesnt mean you dont feel like part of the city. We feel like weve got some pretty deep roots here. Theres no reason we want to leave.Game notes QB Josh McCown (fractured left collarbone) has been medically cleared to play against the Jets, while QB Cody Kessler (concussion) is in the NFLs head-injury protocol after being hurt Sunday in Tennessee. Jackson declined to say who will start, citing the latters uncertain status. Today is Wednesday, so tomorrow Cody could be out of the concussion protocol, the coach said. Im not ruling him out. Well see as we go through the week. . The Browns have used six quarterbacks through seven games. Robert Griffin III started Week 1 and fractured his left shoulder, McCown started Week 2 and was hurt, and Kessler has been under center for the last five games. Charlie Whitehurst, Kevin Hogan and wide receiver Terrelle Pryor also have played QB.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Howie Kendrick Jersey .

Jayson Werth Jersey . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence. TAMPA, Fla. -- The Oakland Raiders have unwavering faith in Derek Carr.Its always great when you trust, and that trust is rewarded, coach Jack Del Rio said after Seth Roberts turned Carrs fourth-down pass into a 41-yard touchdown in overtime, giving the AFC West co-leaders a 30-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.That builds confidence, Del Rio added of Carr, who finished with a franchise-record 513 yards passing and four touchdowns, and well continue to grow as a football team.The Raiders (6-2) improved to 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977. But whats more surprising is they did it by overcoming a NFL-record 23 penalties for 200 yards.Sebastian Janikowski missed a 50-yard field goal that would have won it on the final play of regulation, then misfired from 52 yards for the potential lead in OT.They tried to give us the game -- two missed field goals and all those penalties, Tampa Bay tackle Demar Dotson said. We didnt take it.Carr broke the Raiders 52-year-old record for yards passing in a game, joining Y.A. Tittle and Ben Roethlisberger as the only players in league history to throw for 500-plus yards, four or more touchdowns and no interceptions.The third-year pro said he got so emotional that he nearly broke into tears when he learned he replaced Cotton Davidson (427 yards, 1964) in the record book.Not in a weird way, just like thats stuff you dream of as a kid, Carr said. Im just blessed.Roberts was trying to pick up a first down on fourth-and-3, but got much more when defenders Jude Adjei-Barimah and Bradley McDougald lunged and missed the tackle around the Tampa Bay 30.Amari Cooper had 12 receptions for 173 yards and one TD . Carr also threw scoring passes to offensive tackle and ex-Buc Donald Penn and Mychal Rivera, while Michael Crabtree had eight catches for 108 yards.The Raiders amassed 626 yards total offense, dominating time of possession for more than 15 minutes, running 85 plays to Tampa Bays 61.Carr was 40 of 59 passing and was sacked twice, with one of them resulting in a fumble that led to a first-quarter touchdown that put Tampa Bay up 10-0.It was an awesome performance, Del Rio said. Ive seen some good ones. I thinnk well continue to see good ones from him.dddddddddddd Hes very confident. Hes got some weapons that hes utilizing.Some things to know about the Raiders and Bucs:JAMEIS SPUTTERS: Jameis Winston led an early field goal drive and threw a 19-yard TD pass to Russell Shepherd for a 10-0 lead, but struggled over most of the final three quarters. He finished 16 of 32 for 180 yards and received plenty of help from the Raiders (penalties) in getting the Bucs in the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay had the ball twice in overtime, both 3-and-outs. Thats a good defense. They lead the NFL in road wins. They squeezed one out, Winston said. I felt our team fought hard. If youre going to lose, lose like that.FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE FLAGS: The Raiders hurt themselves repeatedly with penalties, including a delay of game on first-and-goal from the Tampa Bay 3 and an offensive pass interference call against WR Michael Crabtree that nullified a touchdown. They wound up settling for Sebastian Janikowskis 31-yard field goal that trimmed a second-quarter deficit to 10-3. Oakland was penalized four times, twice on third-and-1 for lining up with 12 men on defense, during the fourth-quarter drive Winston used to put Tampa Bay up 24-17. I cant believe it, but it just shows the resilience of this team. We just have to work to clean that up, Cooper said. We cant be a championship team like that, so we have to clean that up. Definitely.DID YA SEE THAT?: Raiders OL Donald Penn was with the Bucs for eight years before being released after the 2013 season. His 1-yard TD made it 10-10 early in the third quarter. The 315-pound tackle crossed his arms and struck a pose for the announced crowd of 61,058. I had to let them know they made a big mistake in cutting me, Penn said. I had to let them know Im back.HOME WOES: While the Raiders are 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977, the Bucs continue to struggle at home, where they are 0-3 this year, 3-16 since the start of the 2014 season.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Stitched NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys From China Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale China Womens NFL Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys China Womens NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Disocunt Football Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
