Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden gets the feeling that the Cleveland Browns are interested in him and he made it clear that he wouldn’t mind coming in and competing with Colt McCoy to be the starter in Cleveland next season.
“I know Colt had a good year last year, and he’s a good football player,” Weeden said during a phone interview this week. “But I’m a competitor, and I want to play as soon as possible. I’d be excited about the opportunity to come in and compete with him and see how things pan out.”
Weeden admitted that the Browns have shown some interest in him and could end up taking him in the second round.
“Yeah, they have,” said Weeden. “You never how it’s going to go, but I feel really good about how everything’s gone with the Browns throughout this whole process. It would be exciting if I ended up there.”
Weeden liked what he saw from his pre-draft visits with the Browns.
“They’ve got a good thing going on there, and they’re heade...

If you’re a Cleveland Browns fan, the best time of the year is the offseason. At least then, the Browns are not losing games. The hope and promise of a better tomorrow is just around the corner. Ever since 1999 when the Browns made the return back to the NFL, there have only been two winning seasons 9-7 in 2002 and 10-6 in 2007and one playoff berth in 2002.

NFL Draft 2012: Brandon Weeden Hopes to Go to Cleveland, Compete with McCoy
Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Ryan Tannehill look to get off the board fast before the Cleveland Browns approach with their 22nd overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. With that, the next best quarterback looks to be Brandon Weeden out of Oklahoma State, as he sees himself at No. 22 or as far as No. 37 to be drafted by the Browns.
Weeden says if he is in fact drafted by the...
The Browns' best hope is Heckert
BEREA -- The best hope for the Cleveland Browns sat at a podium Thursday and talked about the teams draft plans.He didnt explain everything, because he cant. But he sure explained a lot. And he did it in a friendly, patient way that brought at least a little belief that it might well work. It has to happen, but at this point in their history the Browns need any sense of belief...

The Cleveland Browns have said Colt McCoy is the guy they are going to have lead the team this season. There has been all kinds of speculation about the Browns taking a Q.B. in the up-coming NFL draft. The fans in Cleveland thought RGIII was going to be the answer, that was before the Redskins traded their future away to acquire the number two overall pick in the draft from the Rams...

Looking at Cleveland Browns quarterbacks. Who was the best of the worst?

April 20, 2012
There is no doubt that the Cleveland Browns have struggled to find their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately it is not simply a case of evaluating a college prospect and seeing their ability to easily translate into the NFL. If it was, none of the QB busts like Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, or Mark Bulger would ever be selected. Cleveland, like some other teams in the league have been searching...

With the NFL Draft set to begin on Thursday night and the Browns heavily involved in the first two days with three picks at 4, 22, and 37, there’s plenty of different routes that the Browns could take in attempting to improve an anemic offense and a defense with a need for more playmakers. You don’t hear me talk NFL Draft too often, primarily because I fail to see the point of...

The best draft in Cleveland Browns history was more than 50 years ago, and the last year the organization drafted a player who reached the Hall of Fame was 1978. In fact, that same person – Ozzie Newsome – now calls the shots for the original Cleveland football franchise which now resides in Baltimore.
From 1953-1964, Cleveland drafted nine players who would end up in the...

Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the Browns could release QB Seneca Wallace should they draft someone like Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden. Weedens draft stock appears to be rising enough that he could force a team like the Browns to consider using their #22 overall pick on him. Cleveland will almost certainly add another quarterback at some point in the draft...

The first day having the team together after more than three months away might not seem like a big deal to those on the outside, but it was a very big deal to Browns coach Pat Shurmur.There were no offseason programs in the NFL last year because of the lockout. That meant no supervised conditioning or instruction until the start of training camp. Four hundred fifty nine days after...

The long list of needs the Cleveland Browns must address in the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft is centered almost entirely around the offense.
Cleveland averaged just 288.8 total yards (29th in the league) and ranked 30th in the NFL with 13.6 points per game in 2011, while the defense finished 10th overall (332.4 YPG), fifth in scoring...

It never ceases to amaze me at what lengths some NFL franchises will go to in order to conceal their intent. And without a doubt the Cleveland Browns have misguided and given misinformation beautifully this off-season leading up to the 2012 NFL Draft. But it is safe to say that the organization has got their man and due to information publicly admitted by some General Managers I...

After a disappointing campaign in 2011, the Cleveland Browns head into the 2012 offseason hoping to make significant strides toward being more competitive in the AFC North. The Browns, however, have been relatively quiet during the initial free agent signing period, so it would appear that once again they will be looking to the Draft to fill their needs and add depth to a team that...

The poll is still open, but I figured with over 500 responses it was enough of a sample to do some math, calculate some results and run some trials. I know that the stats don’t work 100% and that when you try to apply math to an equation as large as an NFL season encompassing coaches, players, weather, stadiums, fans, referees, front offices and much more. At the same time, I figured...
