RG3 Signs with the Browns
-
I want to know details of the contract. If it's $2M per, good. If it's $12M per, that's terrible.
BUT
If the actual plan is to deal McCown [someone we signed as a street FA] for a 2 or 3 to the Jets, then that's a great art of dealing by Sashi.
I still don't understand what RG3 has to do with any of this. We're already quite competent at losing games with the backups - shaw, davis. What role does RG3 play in all of this other than "unnecessarily petulant locker room cancer" ?

No way a 37 year old journey man QB who had a mediocre year will get a 2-3 in a trade. If he does Sashi deserves the GM of the year award before the draft.
Like a lot of other career backups, I appreciate what McCown did for the Browns. At this point though, I really hope the Browns still draft a top prospect at 2 and let him be the back-up. If that means McCown is released than that's how it goes, but I think he'd find work somewhere.

Good signing.
Does not cost us a draft pick. Just money we are going to spend anyway.
He was talented enough to go #2 overall, if he has learned some things and has his head on straight, I think Hue can do some terrific things with him.
If not ... Oh well, we took a shot.
I am guessing they looked at him in the eye and saw fire.
He's from a strong military family. He may just be maturing.
As a Realtor, there are times where you want to be the "second Realtor" on a listing, because it takes time for the Seller to come to their senses. I think RG3 is a player where you want be the second team.

Draft day will be VERY interesting. QB at 2? Trade down, draft D, WR, or RB, get a project QB like Lynch a little later? After all, RG3 is just 26 years old.
Let the speculation begin!

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
I like the signing. I'll be curious to see if we set up our offense around RG3's strengths and if so, if we look for a QB with similar strengths (Prescott perhaps?) in the draft.
-
I'm willing to bet there won't be one media outlet that doesn't point out that this will be the twenty somethingish starting qb the Browns have had since 1999.

And it will.

If you're going to build an offense around your quarterback's strengths, it would be nice if your quarterback had a strength.

But here are a few examples of Super Bowl starting QBs being on their 2d, maybe third team. Its not that all these guys were "failures" with their first team....but that first team decided for one reason or another not to keep them around:
Len Dawson....original team: Steelers
Darryl Lamonica: Original team: Chargers
Earl Morrall: 49ers
Joe Kapp: (Canada)
Johnny Unitas: Steelers
Craig Morton: made SB with Cowboys that drafted him...but also later with Broncos
Billy Kilmer: 49ers
Fran Tarkenton (started with Vikings....went to Giants, then back to Vikings)
Ron Jaworski: Rams
Jim Plunkett: Patriots
Joe Theisman: Dolphins
Doug Williams: Bucs
Steve Young: Bucs
Chris Chandler: Colts
Brett Favre: Falcons
Stan Humprhies: Redskins
Trent Dilfer: Bucs
Kerry Collins: Panthers
Brad Johnson: Vikings
Rich Gannon: Vikings
Matt Hasselback: Packers
Drew Brees: Chargers
Kurt Warner Rams then Giants then Cardinals.
even Peyton Manning: Colts
even sorta Jim Kelly (drafted by Bills, but played with USFL)
Robert Griffin III
Super Bowl, Baby

Stupid fucking move.

Low risk, not much spent, big upside. Great signing. They look brilliant if it works out and if it doesn't they didn't lose much. I prefer this to wasting an early 1st rounder on those two QBs in the draft.
-
I just verified his signing on the Browns Official website. Hopefully, he will be & remain healthy & we'll see what happens from here on out.

We have no idea what was spent...my guess is 12 mil a year

jbluhm86,
I ALWAYS verify thru the Browns prior to commenting on these signings...ever since NFL.com reported the Browns signing of Jordan Cameron...just before he signed with Miami! LOL

It's a 2 year deal.

if the FO doesn't select one 'of those two QBs in the draft' at #2 then i'll no longer believe in hue, sashi or whatever bullshit they're trying to sell, period. it will show me that they don't know wtf they're doing.
-
This 2-year deal for @RGIII can be worth up to $22M. Which underscores what we knew: Josh McCown will be playing for another team in 2016
-
well it ain't $2 or 3 million.
ugh.

The Browns never fail to entertain.
