NFL Rumors: Cleveland Browns Could Sign Veteran QB Michael Vick

At this point in time, Vick would come on a minimum contract for the Browns. He would have to earn the starting job, but at the very least would be a quality backup for McCown.

Would Vick consider playing for a team like the Browns that likely can't offer him a chance to play for a playoff spot? That could be one of the main things that keep a deal between the Browns and Vick from happening if Cleveland did reach out to him.

There is a good chance that Griffin could have failed the last chance that he'll receive as a starter. He has not shown the ability to stay on-the-field and this kind of a disappointment could make Cleveland move on from him at the end of the season.

Other options for the Browns include a trade for Colin Kaepernick or Geno Smith, or potentially trying to sign former Tennessee Titans' quarterback Jake Locker, who would have to come out of retirement.

McCown is more than capable of taking over the starting job, as he showed last season before going down with a season-ending injury. If he can stay healthy, McCown can keep the Browns' offense relevant, especially when Josh Gordon comes back from his four-game suspension.

Don't be surprised if they start looking around for another quarterback on the trade market or in free agency. They can't feel comfortable with McCown being the only NFL ready quarterback on their roster. Vick could end up being a perfect fit for them and would likely be available at the right price.

Do you think Michael Vick would be a good pickup for the Cleveland Browns? Would he beat out Josh McCown to be the Browns' starting quarterback for the rest of the season or at least until Griffin returns? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below!
