Grossman signed, Thigpen waived

So why do this? Rex going to be third string? Bleacher Report saying Browns might look into moving Hoyer if they decide to give Johnny the keys.

I wouldn't necessarily trust anything that BR says. I would give it about a 0.5% chance that Hoyer or Johnny are gone this season. It's not like Hoyer has a ton of value around the league anyways and his contract is cheap and expiring, so there would be no reason to move him.
And yes, Rex was brought in to be the 3rd string. He knows Shanny's system and is a vet with a lot of starting experience who can be plugged in whenever. Good backup, definitely not a starter. Considering that Thigpen looked awful in Detroit, no surpise this move was made today.

Well, it finally happened, I had assumed Grossman was on the way in as soon as Shanahan was hired.

"Johnny Football has a mentor! Sexy Rexy! Hide your daughters! You canโt make this stuff up. NFL Network has three more hours of Johnny Football stories tonight!"

Twitter is saying Hoyer could possibly be dealt?
What the fuck?

0% chance of moving JM, but on the other hand...
If the decision was made to "hand the keys" to JM, then maybe the only way to minimize any lingering QB controversy would be to trade BH.

Let's hope so. Maybe the FO isn't too high on him, though. I don't think he had any reps in the game vs the Lions.

Getting ready to move Hoyer? Makes sense if you don't want qb controversy. Also puts an end to locker room split.

Still makes no sense. It would be different if both QB's were All-Pro's or something where you could move a player for good value. What's the most that Hoyer would get us in a trade? A 7th?
I would rather start either QB and have a controversy than move Hoyer for basically nothing.

You fools, don't you see the glorious plan unfolding? Draft a flashy player high and create a "controversy" at the position. Create the perfect distraction to draw people fully away from the glory that is obtaining Sexy Rexy. Now it's just a matter of getting the two other QB's "injured" and boom: Super Bowl champions.
Check mate, NFL.

Pigpen was a special kind of awful Saturday.
You can look up my post- I called that one- "cut Thigpen immediately".
The Hoyer Hatas going into party mode at the thought Hoyer might get moved. Screw Twitter.
As far as moving Hoyer- MHO is he'd happily accept the backup role behind JF- if it comes to that.
PS Grossman sucks.

surely somebody will offer up a 1st round pick and a flock of wide receivers for the second coming of tom brady.
so much untapped potential in hoyer. 9 years, untapped. so valuable on the market.
i'm sure it will take all week to sift through the offers.
in the meantime, lol at those claiming nfl experience being the single most valuable measuring stick.

I actually expected this move to have been made like back in March. I believe it is a slight upgrade....for our 3rd string QB.
(and the way things go for the Browns he could be our starting QB for like a third of the season)
