    He has turned down back up money before I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down practice squad money or clipboard holding money. What's Richie Incognito doing these days if we truly need a team cancer?

    I think he has been with the Bills the last few years...and playing well...and keeping his nose clean.    In checking...yes, he has been with the Bills now for 3 years....and started every game for them in that period.  And they made the playoffs last year for the first time since 1999.  So, he must not have been too "cancerous".

    So...I guess things can go good for a so called trouble maker.

        Brandon Marshall is under contract somewhere...Jets I believe...and had been playing well., but I believed he suffered injuries.   Pacman Jones, I believe, has been released by the Bengals...

        A few others:    Favre, Moss, T.O.   are in the HOF  (so...whatever they did didn't hurt their careers that much)

        WR Steve Smith has retired...and could be headed to the HOF. 

        Holmes  caught the TD to win the Super Bowl for the Squibs....

        And the others are long in the tooth and retired. 

        So...the only one that may apply to really is Jones.... who also may be retirement age.

        As far as Kaep being a locker room cancer....I think it is the exact opposite.  I think the people he played with would not have that opinion.   Maybe a few  Administrators, and people who are afraid of a little free expression may think that....but not his fellow locker room mates.

          Kaep? No... and it has nothing to do with any off-field stuff.

          Tyrod is our vet QB. We will draft our future QB who will backup Tyrod. Interjecting any QB between them only takes already limited practice reps from our future.

              No. The browns are working hard to change their image. Picking up Kaepernick would be the most circus move since manziel. It might have made sense last year when the team was being run by party clowns but now...no. 

              Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                  Every team in the NFL has had an opportunity to pick Kaep up- and passed on him. Is he being blackballed? Possibly- but he has no place on the Browns. For all the reasons previously mentioned...  I'll add a couple- CK will be 31 this year, and Tie-Rod beats him in every statistical category, and is a couple years younger...

                    If Kaep was a top 10 QB, he WOULD be employed by some NFL team.

                    However, being a 2nd string caliber QB there’s not a team willing to tolerate him AND his baggage.

                      My only thought was he still has some talent and as a backup QB we hold the cards as to what to pay him if he wants to come back into the league. Rather have someone capable of starting than Kessler or Hogan and force our drafted QB to start.

                        If he were Amish you could consider him shunned. Unlikely he ever steps on an NFL field again.

                          This year for the Browns isn't "Super Bowl or bust."  Kaep isn't even listed, he's so far out of it.... Plenty of bums to choose from if we just want a warm body to lose games instead of CK..

                            I would likely rather have him than Kessler or Hogan.....but the Browns already signed Hogan....and will have TT and whomever they draft.  So there is just no room for him.

                              It's the worst idea in the history of professional sports.

                              Your going to trade for Tyrod Taylor, pay him a lot of money for a year and anoint him the starter.

                              Then your going to draft Sam Darnold #1 overall (or insert your favorite QB) and put the franchise on his shoulders, ready to start when he's ready.

                              And you're going to bring in Colin fucking Kaepernick to be the third QB?

                              John Dorsey is not mentally retarded. I repeat, he is not a mentally retarded man.

                              If Fire Island Guy starts another gay thread he will be tarred and feathered, stoned in the street and banished.

                              By the way, all we did with Kevin Hogan was a no-risk minimum tender. We are keeping him at the minimum we can possibly pay him. Hogan and Kessler are cheap, have experience, and will vie for the third spot, should we decide to keep three qbs.

                                this has gotta be a troll or Sheet post. no one wants the kapernick qb controversy. then we'll hear "why don't you start kap" from his fans all year.

                                    Just throwing this out there... What if the Browns were to offer Kapernic a 3-4 year deal at veteran minimum with incentive bonuses. This incentives could include performance, community work, being a model teammate. This would essentially allow the QB we draft to sit as QB3 and in no way be thrust into starting due to injuries. Thoughts?

                                        I'm with Zombo on this- bringing in Kaep if not the worst- "bring him in, he's available" idea- it has to be in the top three. I hear Trent Richardson and Ray Rice are available too.
