Cleveland Browns news, rumors and injuriesBrowns | Brian Hoyer, Browns parting ways? Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:37:56 -0800 Cleveland Browns impending free-agent QB Brian Hoyer said Thursday, March 5, that it is good for both sides to go their separate ways. Fantasy Tip: Hoyer will likely have a chance to compete for the starting job wherever he signs, but even as a starter, his lack of upside makes him a QB2 at best. Comment () | Share: Browns | Johnny Manziel needs to focus on football Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:29:45 -0800 Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel needs to have an obsession with football, according to offensive coordinator John DeFilippo. "It's truly a lifestyle to be an NFL quarterback," DeFilippo said. "It's not just a job. It's all-consuming. You need to sleep, eat, do everything fast and just think about football all the time." Fantasy Tip: Manziel has sparked plenty of controversy after just one season of professional football. While Manziel still isn't guaranteed to start next season, especially with QB Josh McCown recently signed, there are still some positive signs with the rehabilitation program he's going through and a new offensive coordinator in DeFilippo. Comment () | Share: Browns | Brian Hartline to visit Cleveland Tue, 03 Mar 2015 05:46:37 -0800 Free-agent WR Brian Hartline (Dolphins) will visit the Cleveland Browns Tuesday, March 3. Fantasy Tip: Hartline is at best a WR4 or WR5 flyer for PPR formats. Comment () | Share: Browns | Josh McCown expects to start Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:44:47 -0800 Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown is expecting to start after signing a three-year, $14 million deal last week that includes $6.25 million in guarantees and $6 million in incentives. McCown went just 1-10 as the starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. McCown will compete with QBs Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw this summer. Fantasy Tip: As of right now, McCown looks like the most likely candidate to start for the Browns, with Manziel in a treatment facility for personal issues. If McCown wins the job in training camp, though he shouldn't be considered anything more than a weak QB2 for fantasy owners. Comment () | Share: Browns | Josh McCown to work with Johnny Manziel Mon, 02 Mar 2015 04:18:25 -0800 Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown will work with QB Johnny Manziel to help him get used to the NFL. Fantasy Tip: McCown is obviously not the long-term solution in Cleveland, but he provides a bit of stability. His vow to work with Manziel also means the Browns have some faith in their troubled quarterback. McCown is a backup QB in most fantasy leagues, while Manziel remains an intriguing project with little fantasy value at the moment. Comment () | Share: Browns | Josh McCown guaranteed $6.25 million Sat, 28 Feb 2015 14:33:06 -0800 Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown has $6.25 million in guarantees in his three-year deal, and he'll make $5.25 million in 2015. The value of his deal is $14 million with the chance to make $20 million, according to a source that has seen the contract. Fantasy Tip: McCown would be a low-end QB2 if he wins the starting job. Comment () | Share: Browns | Josh McCown contract details Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:19:56 -0800 Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown's three-year deal is worth roughly $15 million, according to a source. Fantasy Tip: If McCown wins the starting job, he should be considered nothing more than a low-end QB2. Comment () | Share: Browns | Three-year deal for Josh McCown Fri, 27 Feb 2015 16:37:32 -0800 Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown signed a three-year deal Friday, Feb. 27, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. McCown completed 184 of 327 passes for 2,206 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014. McCown has a good relationship with offensive coordinator John DeFilippo from their days with the Oakland Raiders. Fantasy Tip: The signing of McCown likely means Brian Hoyer will move on and try to land a job elsewhere. McCown will likely compete for the starting quarterback job with Johnny Manziel in training camp. If McCown wins the job, he offers very little upside, despite having succeeded in the NFL before. He's nothing more than a weak QB2 selection if he's starting. Comment () | Share: Browns | Josh McCown signs with Cleveland Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:29:46 -0800 Free-agent QB Josh McCown (Buccaneers) has signed with the Cleveland Browns, according to his agent. Financial terms were not disclosed. Fantasy Tip: McCown likely will have the chance to compete for the starting quarterback job during training camp. McCown likely would be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback next season if he wins the starting job. Comment () | Share: Browns | Browns in talks with Josh McCown Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:32:53 -0800 Free-agent QB Josh McCown (Buccaneers) has had contract talks with the Cleveland Browns in addition to the Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Fantasy Tip: He would likely have a chance to compete for the starting job in Cleveland, but unless the Browns upgrade their weapons in the passing game significantly this offseason, McCown wouldn't have much fantasy value as the starter. Comment () | Share: Browns | Ted Ginn an option for Cleveland Wed, 25 Feb 2015 10:52:12 -0800 Free-agent WR Ted Ginn Jr. (Cardinals) is receiving interest from the Cleveland Browns, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Browns | James Casey to visit Cleveland Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:32:19 -0800 Free-agent TE James Casey (Eagles) will visit the Cleveland Browns Wednesday, Feb. 25. Comment () | Share: Browns | CLE interested in Mike Glennon? Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:19:28 -0800 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon is a player the Cleveland Browns are believed to be interested in, according to two league sources. There haven't been any formal offers, but if the Buccaneers are willing to deal Glennon he is a name worth watching. Fantasy Tip: A move to Cleveland wouldn't do much for Glennon's fantasy appeal, as the team appears likely to lose TE Jordan Cameron to free agency while also dealing with the looming suspension of WR Josh Gordon. The receiver corps might actually be worse in Cleveland than Tampa Bay, and that's saying a lot. Comment () | Share: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:26:43 -0800 Free-agent QB Josh McCown (Buccaneers) is visiting the Cleveland Browns Tuesday, Feb. 24, and Wednesday, Feb. 25. Fantasy Tip: Even if McCown ends up signing with Cleveland and winning the starting job, he's still not worth starting on fantasy squads, especially when he would be without the services of suspended WR Josh Gordon. Comment () | Share: Browns | President denies meddling in football affairs Tue, 24 Feb 2015 09:17:37 -0800 Cleveland Browns president Alec Scheiner has denied trying to run the football operations of the organization after a CBSSports.com report said Scheiner was "involved in everything," doing "too much." Scheiner said he sometimes watches film with general manager Ray Farmer "to sit in there and try to learn and listen." "I like my role," Scheiner said. "I've got enough on my plate."
