Joe Flacco on the Browns radar; Kirk Cousins ​​could remain: the latest in search of a Bridge quarters back

The browns, which are strongly about Cam and Shedeur Sanders with their overall selection of number 2 -and several other rookie -QBs, if they take you later -their new veterans could have place within the next few days. But the selection is slim and the demand is high.

You can either choose a veteran that will start this season for you, or for a Bridge quarters that will start until the rookie is ready. If you expect your rookie to start this year, you have to find the sweet spot of a veteran who can help win games until your quarterback of the future is ready and will also be ready to look after it.

Here is the latest for some of the veterans QBS:

1. Indianapolis’ Joe Flacco

Flacco, the Browns rescuer in 2023, when he went 4-1 on the track to help them win a wild card spot with 11: 6, 2-4 for the colts and threw 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

At the age of 40 he would still like to play and would welcome the chance to return to Cleveland, where he was an overwhelming fan favorite. Flacco wanted to re -sign with Cleveland last season, but the Browns never made him an offer and decided on the younger Jameis Winston. Flacco would come at the right price and already knows the program, the trainers and players.

The disadvantage of Flacco in this role is that fans would pursue for him if the rookie fights. But the browns don’t seem to believe that it would be a problem and it remains an option.

2. Atlantas Kirk Cousins

Cousins ​​has been on the Browns list for months, for the most part, because it would probably have a prize that is compatible with 36.9 million US dollars for Deshaun Watson this season. This year, the falcons for cousins ​​’27, 5 million US dollars on the hooks and owe him a bonus of US dollars on March 17.

The falcons seem to worry about keeping cousins ​​(36) as a backup at 2024 No. 8. That is why Cousins ​​has requested a meeting with Falcon’s owner Arthur Blank. He wants to go somewhere else to start this season. Depending on what the browns do in the draft, cousins’ thinking may not correspond to the thinking of the browns for their veteran QB. If you draw ward or Sanders, he will probably start this season.

But if the Falcons cousins ​​published for Kevin Stefanski in Minnesota, the browns will surely be interested.

3. Sam Darnold von Minnesota

After Smith has driven to Vegas, the Seahawks should be interested in signing Darnold, who went 14: 3 this season, but ended with two bad excursions in the potential department final and the Wild Card round. The Vikings emphasized Darnold that the Seahawks could outbid them for the hottest QB on the market.

Have the browns thrown their hat for Darnold in the ring? Since its price is expected to increase over 30 million US dollars a year, it would be difficult to get involved at this price.

Darnold established itself this season as a real start quarters and not as one who wants to put a rookie into the background.

4. Daniel Jones von Minnesota

If Darnold signs with the Seahawks or someone else, the Vikings will rather try to keep Jones, the number 6 of the Giants from Duke in 2019. But when he hits the market, he will undoubtedly land on the Browns radar. With a market value of around 5 million US dollars a year, it is at the right price for a Bridge Quarterback and could welcome the chance to get his career back into the route after publishing the Giants last year. Other teams are also interested in Jones.

With Jones, 27, who is still so young, he will probably want to go to a place where he can start or at least have a chance.

5. Carson Wentz from Kansas City

The Browns don’t seem to be hot on the trail of Wentz, the number 2 of the Eagles in 2016 after trading with the Browns to design it. Wentz got around five different teams and may not be the first choice of the browns for a bridge, but they cannot rule it out either. The demand in this market is greater than the offer, and the browns all have to leave their options open.

6. Pittsburghs Justin Fields

The Steelers still choose their start quarters for this season, but Fields, the former Star of Ohio State, is not assumed that they are on the Browns list. The Steelers are still in the game to sign it again, but the jets should be interested. In the end, he will probably end with one of these two teams.

7. Russell Wilson von Pittsburgh

Wilson said he wants to stay in Pittsburgh, but it remains to be seen whether he will get this chance. If you continue, it is assumed that the giants are interested. Would the browns be interested? Here, too, you have to keep your options open, but Wilson falls into the category of a starter and not in a bridge and is probably not right for this role.

8. Raiders’ Gardnew Minshew II

Minshew, which will be released this week, had a down year in 2024 and went 2: 7 with the Raiders, while he only threw nine TDS towards 10 InS. But he showed a good promise in Indy under Shane Steichen the previous year, went 7: 6 and almost beat the Browns and her No. 1 defense. With 46 starts with his loan, Minshew brings excellent bridge experience and would probably come at the right price.

9. Patriots’ Jacoby Brissett

Brissett is one of the youngest former veterans who would bring the browns back. It brings excellent leadership, mentor and starting capacity, but would take a backup role behind the rookie. The fans would be less injured for Brissett than for Flacco, who brought the offensive back to life in 2023 and was able to save the season. Brissett is also an excellent team leader and would be good for the entire changing room.

10. Rams’ Jimmy Garoppolo

The Browns were interested in trading with Garoppolo in 2017, but instead he was treated to the 49. Eight years later, he is again on the Browns radar as a Bridge Quarterback to start this season or to support the rookie. Garoppolo was used by the Raiders in 2023 after a 3: 3 record and nine interceptions with his seven TDS. But it could just fit into the bill, especially if the browns became or Sanders who may be able to start immediately.

11. Cardinals Kyler Murray

It was wrongly rumored that the Browns tried to act against Murray. It is the franchise qb of the cardinals and does not go anywhere.
