It's fun everytime the Browns get a new coach with the #1 draft pick at his disposal. The optimism is always ridiculously high every time, but you know what Einstein's definition of insanity is... doing the same thing over expecting a different result. I think this article is more wishful thinking, and the reality is the Browns will do what they always do and pick another qb. AJ is probably the next Matt Flynn unless someone gets hurt and their team is in a serious bind.That story has him going to Cleveland, which aside from the Browns being the Browns, is a great fit for him. Cleveland doesn't need to be in the Romo sweepstakes; it's possible they could go after Garoppolo given his age and that would work just as well as McCarron.
Given the choice, I think Jackson would prefer McCarron. The question really becomes how likely is it to get the two Ohio teams to work together on a deal that might create an in-division competitor for the Bengals.
The problem is AJ didn't force them to make that decision. By that I mean make it impossible for a $$$ crunching back office marketing executive to overrule the coaching staff on who should be the face of the team. Probably a playoff win would've done it for AJAJ is a proven winner & will win if given the opportunity to do so..The Bengals needs to elevate AJ to starter & trade Dalton..
Dalton will never be the QB they're betting all their money on as their "Franchise QB"..
Nope....your head stays concussion free, you make millions, you have a hot wife.....pretty good lifeBeing a career second string NFL QB isn't a bad gig.

Since Hue Jackson was his OC in Cincinnati for his first two years, that would be a pretty good deal. AJ already knows the system. Heck, he threw as many TDs in 7 games last year as the Browns' leading QB did this year.That story has him going to Cleveland, which aside from the Browns being the Browns, is a great fit for him.

The Texans could use him. I think they need to cut the cord with Osweiler.He should've been pushing for it earlier.
The problem is the Bengals have no intentions of handing him the reigns over Dalton. I think he will still be a backup next year unless a team doesn't have a franchise tag qb, a mid round pick or worse, and is in extreme need of a qb with some experience. I see his best option is to ride out his contract and become a merc qb. I think other than dalton getting hurt early in the year his chances at Cincinnati are slim, but it's still possible.
And if not he can always rely on Katherine's talents. He's a winner there already.AJ has played this perfectly. He can get a really good "second" contract without even having been really tested as an NFL starter. This next contract will provide he and his family with financial security for the rest of their lives.
Texans are in the playoffs and will probably win their first game against the Raiders. Playoff and Divisional championships usually=the qb and HC are still going to be there next year. So I doubt Houston is realistic unless Osweiller gets severely injured.The Texans could use him. I think they need to cut the cord with Osweiler.
If I were Romo and valued my health I would stay far, far away from Cleveland.That story has him going to Cleveland, which aside from the Browns being the Browns, is a great fit for him.

He also has an adorable baby. I think he is doing just fine.Nope....your head stays concussion free, you make millions, you have a hot wife.....pretty good life
Osweiler is guaranteed ~$36 million. I don't see the Texans cutting him and no other team is dumb enough to take on his contract..The Texans could use him. I think they need to cut the cord with Osweiler.
49ers would be the 2nd pick in the draft unless their new coach is head over heels about McCarron I don't see them going that route.I think there may be several possibilities. The Bills, Vikings, Bears, 49ers, Redskins, Jets, and Eagles may all be shopping, in addition to the Browns. I've even heard rumblings that the Saints may be ready to start looking beyond Brees. Not sure if they'll go at it via the draft or trades/free agency.
If I'm Romo, I thank Jerry for the opportunity, wish Dak the best and go home and count my money.If I were Romo and valued my health I would stay far, far away from Cleveland.
