Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson was unequivocal when asked if his team will trade Joe Thomas amid rumors the veteran left tackle is on the block.

"We are not going to trade Joe Thomas," Jackson stated bluntly Monday.

The Browns are reportedly asking for a second-round pick in exchange for the nine-time Pro Bowler.

Though the Browns are undeniably in a rebuilding phase, one that will likely last several more years, and Thomas is 31 years old, apparently Jackson views him as an indispensable piece.

Or perhaps Jackson is simply playing the game and doing his best to increase Thomas' trade value.

The NFL's trade deadline is Nov. 1.
