Re: McCown signs with Browns
Does this mean that the Browns won't pick a QB with the 1st round pick they got from the Bills in the Sammy Watkins trade?
Bet they won't pick a QB with their own 1st round pick either.
What would that tell us?
At any rate, I'm glad we didn't land McCown. THREE YEARS? Please. Can't wait to see what kind of contract they gave him.
Re: McCown signs with Browns
Surprised 3 years deal, probably the deal breaker tilted to the Browns.
He'll be 39 when the 3 year rolls around. Of course he himself probably does not expect to see that 3rd year.

Unless he does the Matt Hasselbeck thing and rides the bench. Yet at least Hasselbeck started long term in the NFL meanwhile McCown's been a career clip board holder.

Come on man, Is there really no one on this forum that can throw a football???
One of you guys needs to step up, I would, But I'm too dam fat...
Re: McCown signs with Browns
This should open the door for us to bring in Hoyer, which would be the smart move from the get-go.
Re: McCown signs with Browns
The reason McCown chose the Browns is that they reportedly offered him a chance to compete for the starting spot.

The implication is that EJ will start.

I'm glad we did not sign him. He offered no upside.

Actually the article you linked says that McCown decided to choose between the Bills and Browns because they both offered him the chance to compete for the starting spot (as an aside, I can't believe the Jets didn't as well), which is how it should be. Although I suspect that Cleveland told him he's essentially the starter since Manziel i s a mess and I doubt they add another one in FA, while the draft isn't looking so good for QB's.

None.
Probably would have collapsed off the field.
Re: McCown signs with Browns
per @getnickwright McCown got 3 years/15 million.
I bet the BILLS offered 2/10mill and that 3rd extra year at 5mil was deal sealer for the Browns

Kiko's just glad Buffalo dodged this bullet, it would be hard for Kiko to watch this loser from the sidelines.

Not even sure the Bills would match the guaranteed money, let alone the 3rd year.
On the other hand, the primary target for the Bills, Hoyer, in my mind at least, might not be as promising according to this article. I don't believe the Bills would promise a starting job for all these guys.

They wouldn't. McCown was likely told he'd have to compete in Buffalo, as it should be since EJ hasn't established himself and McCown isn't that good. In Cleveland however, he'd be the de facto starter.
Re: McCown signs with Browns
Kiko will see him when we play Cleveland, and have an interception.

First time for several years the Bills won't see the Browns this year. Read: the Bills didn't finish last in the division whereas the Browns are where they usually were.
