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. 

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?
