The Cleveland Browns have to do their due diligence when it comes to quarterbacks on the market, but according to the latest report, several of the rumored options were never actually players the Browns were going after.
Despite the questions about the position, Cleveland didn’t jump the gun on another trade or move. Per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns never explored a deal for ex-Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, despite his name surfacing in rumors.
“The Browns also weren’t really interested in former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, and never contemplated trading for the Colts’ Anthony Richardson or anyone else. They may have acquired former Raiders QB Geno Smith if they could’ve gotten him for the veteran minus of $1.255 million,” she wrote.
Murray, a former No. 1 overall pick with some skills, has shown the ability to be a really good player at points in his career. However, he’s had other parts when he’s been very bad.
Cleveland decided not to pursue him, and Murray landed in a better spot for himself with the Minnesota Vikings.
Ultimately, this isn’t the worst idea for the Browns. I wouldn’t have been upset had they gone after Murray, but the Browns need more right now.
