Probably seeing if they can squeeze a trade out of somebody.

[Zombo]

There is no financial or competitive reward for releasing him ... Why not bring his arm to camp?

If you can trade the guy for a used JUGS machine, I think that you'd have to pull the trigger.

It comes down to money, plain and simple. Releasing him gains nothing.

i trade him for a used JUGs magazine.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

He will compete for the starting position.

Check....the fact is he is still in the mix for either the backup or 3rd string QB. He comes as cheap at this point as anyone else that may be out there. I mean, here is your list of FA QBs:

Quarterbacks

1. Michael Vick

2. Josh McCown

3. Matt Cassel

4. Josh Freeman

5. Shaun Hill

6. Chad Henne

7. Tarvaris Jackson

8. Colt McCoy

9. Matt Flynn

10. Kellen Clemens

11. Luke McCown

12. Derek Anderson

13. David Garrard

14. Dan Orlovsky

15. Rex Grossman

16. Curtis Painter

17. Tim Tebow

18. Jimmy Clausen

19. Charlie Whitehurst

20. Brady Quinn

I mean really....Weeden, if he were a FA, could quite possibly lead this pack....or come close to the top. And they will need at least 4 QBs going into camp.

He ain't going nowhere, not yet anyway.

4 of the 20 above are already failed Browns experiments: Luke McCown/DA/BQ/Colt.

josh freeman was another 'can't miss'. mccown did well for the limited time he played for the bears last year. i'd take either one over weeden BUT like you said it's all about money. what're we going to cut him and pay him plus pay another guy that might be just a little better than him?

[LondonBrown]

Thanks for the responses, both informative and funny

Why not? He isn't costing much in cap space. I don't see any reason to cut him until he fails in camp. Who knows? Maybe he won't.

[DawgsRule90]

I say keep him here cuz i have a buddy who looks just like him, so when we go to the bar we mess with drunks and get people to say mean things to him lol. and ironically he has the name of another oklahoma qb..... jason white.

[Flyin J]

Cutting Weeden before final cuts just won't happen. His contract is fully guaranteed and if he does wear someone else's jersey next year while were still paying him, we want him to have as little time as possible with his new team before the season starts.....could u imagine Weeden beating us while were still paying him???

LMAO..... Used though?

[ahitz3]

Because he's the quarterback of our FUT.. Oh.. Wait....

[PoeticG]

Colt McCoy may actually be the best FA QB on the market. I'd take a Hoyer/McCoy/Carr trio and cut Weeden and Campbell.

[jcam222]

OMG noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PoG not the McCoy thing again , please let him go to rest where all noodle arms go to retire

[Bammer]

He's a proven loooooooooooooser, and the only thing he can compete for is asshole of the year.

[Westside Steve]

Rumor has it that Farmer and Pettine both like Brandon Weeden and he will be given a chance to compete for the starting job in the new system.
