Looks like Cleveland is the only chance where he'll be able to compete for a starting job, even if they take a qb in the draft. I'm sure he would've gotten other offers elsewhere to be a backup, but I'm not sure his ego would've allowed that.

meanwhile Cleveland head coach Hue Jackson is in SD to watch Carson Wentz pro day

Didn't they say somewhere they intend to bring in another QB for competition.

Regardless of whether a qb is drafted or not I expect an open competition in Cleveland this year. Odds of RG3 winning that competition against McCown or a 2nd overall pick: I'd say 10%, but stranger things have happened.

There are different levels of competition. When you invest the #2 pick in the draft you are not looking for a back-up.

Let's keep it in perspective, $7.5M per season is about what Chase Daniel got from the Eagles. That might have seemed like a lot of money in the old paradigm but Sam Bradford and Brock Osweiler just got $18M.

This contract signals that RG3 will not be the clear cut starter in Cleveland.

Good for Griffin. He gets a fresh new start. Just surprised that the Browns guaranteed him almost 7 million. There's a chance that he's the 3rd string QB. He's probably not going to beat out McCown, at some point Cleveland is going to want to see the rookie get in there. Just makes no sense to me.

I wonder if there were any other places he could have gone. If there were, he probably wouldn't be in Cleveland.

He is going to be the sacrificial lamb thrown out on the field while they rebuild. I hope he doesn't get hurt.

a couple things that should worry cleveland fans.

they fell in love with him at a workout (where he doesn't read defences or have to worry about pocket presence), and they paid a lot of money to a guy with nowhere else to go (bidding against themselves).

choice quotes like "i'll take a new QB under my wing", "I've been through more in four years than most people go through in their lifetime." "no one's ever handed me anything"... you mean besides two massive contracts and a starting job in the NFL, right?

have fun in cleveland! i don't see it working out too well, but i guess you never know.

as far as espn asking if they still need to draft a QB now... YES, you do. 100%.

Not to mention, " what happened there would break a lot of people." Like what? You getting benched multiple times cause you were not good enough to keep the job? I give it a slim to none chance of him working out in Cleveland. They're not a stable organization and he still isn't a good QB.

Its going to be an uphill battle. I wish Griffin success. Sounds like Hue is giving him a clean slate; and maybe more importantly they better hope Gordon comes back from suspension.
