When the Cleveland Browns squared off against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Browns tackle Joe Thomas hit an incredible milestone that may never be broken.
Thomas surpassed 10,000 consecutive snaps played, which is even more impressive considering he plays offensive tackle and has avoided injuries for that long.

Thomas hasn't missed a snap in his career, and he was drafted by the Browns in 2007. The 10-time Pro Bowler has started in 161 straight games.
Fellow Cleveland legend LeBron James gave Thomas a shoutout on Twitter.
Unbelievable @joethomas73!! 10k consecutive snaps played! Playing in the trenches too! Crazy man! Congrats big fella!!

Thomas has been available for trade the last two seasons, but he would command a hefty return considering how valuable of an asset he is for Cleveland's offensive line. An offensive line-needy team that wants to contend for a title—such as the Seattle Seahawks or New York Giants—might consider trading for him if the Browns make him available this year.
