Notes
Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner has downplayed the team's signing of QB Brian Hoyer, and Turner also has praised QB Brandon Weeden for his relentless work ethic. 'I think there have been more stories written about Brian Hoyer being a Brown over the last four months than probably any player in history,' Turner said. 'He was released. He was available. He's a guy that has been with some good teams in backup situations. He's played very little football, but I do think we like his skill set.'
Fantasy Impact: Weeden will be given first shot at the starter's job but he won't be handed anything. He'll have to earn it.

Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden said he was surprised with the team's signing of QB Brian Hoyer but understands it is a part of the business. 'I was surprised, but that's the nature of the beast,' Weeden said. 'It's part of this business and if you start worrying about it, that's too much to worry about. That's my mentality going forward.'

Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden indicated that he and WR Josh Gordon are jelling nicely at organized team activities (OTAs). 'I have so much confidence in him. I'm not afraid to throw at any corner with him,' Weeden said. 'He's that good.'

Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said the team likely will continue to use QB Brandon Weeden with the first-team offense and QB Jason Campbell with the second-team offense during organized team activities but it is too early to name a starting quarterback.

Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden opened up this week at the team's offseason team activities as the starter, with QB Jason Campbell relegated to second-team duties. It appears that the starting quarterback job will be Weeden's to lose this year. The team is hoping Weeden fits better in head coach Rob Chudzinski's aerial attack than he was in former head coach Pat Shurmur's West Coast offensive system.

Although Cleveland Browns QB Jason Campbell will receive a chance to compete for the team's starting quarterback job, QB Brandon Weeden will most likely start in Week 1. The only way Weeden doesn't is if he struggles in training camp and the preseason. He has the strong arm that should mesh well in an offense run by head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said Thursday, May 2, that he is not yet ready to hand the starting quarterback job to QB Brandon Weeden, even though the team did not select a quarterback in the NFL Draft. 'I feel good about where we're at right now,' Chudzinski said. 'He's been working with the first group and we'll just see as we go forward. We're (working) on air right now so it's very early but I do like what I've seen so far and we'll see how it goes. Right now it's too early to say anything one way or another.' Weeden will compete with QB Jason Campbell for the job.

The Cleveland Browns made it clear this offseason that they want QB Brandon Weeden to take more of a leadership role, and he's accepted the challenge. He is the clear-cut starter over QB Jason Campbell, although the coaches still could still use the newcomer Campbell if they feels he gives them the best chance to win. Since current management did not draft Weeden, he is believed to have less room for error.
