Browns to give Vince Young a look-see
Posted by Mike Florio on April 28, 2014, 10:37 AM EDT
He’s back. Possibly. Maybe.
Quarterback Vince Young, the third overall pick in the 2006 draft who has been out of the NFL since 2011, will participate in the Browns’ voluntary minicamp on a tryout basis this week, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston.
Young, who will take a physical on Monday, spent portions of the offseason in 2012 and 2013 with the Bills and Packers, respectively.
The Browns’ interest isn’t surprising. For starters, their best options currently are Brian Hoyer, who’s recovering from a torn ACL, and Alex Tanney, who’s best known for his abilities as a trick-shot artist.
Besides, owner Jimmy Haslam, a Tennessean, witnessed Young become a Pro Bowler in both 2006 and 2009 with the Titans. It makes sense for Haslam to at least raise with his football people the question of whether Young at least deserves a chance to compete with the top options currently under contract in Cleveland.
Young spent 2011 with the Eagles, with his biggest contribution being the inadvertent coining of the term “dream team.” In Cleveland, the overriding objective is to end a nightmare that has lasted for nearly 20 years.

As much as I hate "at the end of the day".
I want to finger-stab someone in the throat when I hear them say that.

They are also going into negotiations with Richard Sherman now with the intent of making him the highest paid CB in the league.

That's how it happens in the age of free agency. Either overpay or watch your roster get gutted.

I'd have to work him out since he hasn't played in a few years but I would bring in Tanard Jackson. Garrett is too big of a sissy but I'd like to see if he still has it.
He is sitting on three strikes already so if he f's up again, the NFL will ban him. I'd bet junk $100 he's better than anything we have at Free Safety right now, rust and all.
