Cleveland, Ohio –
Desperate for a new signal caller, the Cleveland Browns are looking to fill their need with a controversial quarterback.
The Browns had shown interest in finding a new quarterback for some time now. Weeden had not cut it and Hoyer could not do much help as he struggled to recover from injury.
Most people expected Cleveland to use pick number 4 on a franchise QB this season. Now, news out of Cleveland is confirmed that the Browns have signed ex-Falcon Michael Vick to a 5 year 20 million dollar deal.
Browns GM, Ray Farmer, has stated that they still may consider drafting a QB but Vick will help fill an immediate need.
Michael Vick, who has a past with Dog fighting, will now be part of the ‘dog pound’.
There have already been a small group of fans protesting on the streets of the stadium before the police had to kindly ask them to take it somewhere else.
Vick’s agent believes the fans will buy into the new Vick, and this could be a step in the right direction as Vick tries to sell his new dog lover image while Ray Farmer believes these are the types of moves the Browns must take to finally get back on top.
Today, several big names around the NFL have commented on the news.
“Why would I care? I just want to focus on my own team right now.” – Joe Flacco
“Good for Vick, can’t wait to duel it out vs them.” – Ben Roethlisberger
“I don’t care who their quarterback is. Either way we are just going to sweep them.” – Andy Dalton
“Well who ever the quarterback is we’ll make sure to watch plenty of film and make sure we are ready.” – John Harbaugh
“I feel I could of been better last season. I’ll make sure to keep trying for improvement, and hope that if Vick starts that he earned it.” – Brandon Weeden
