Report: Cleveland not interested in Kolb

Early in the (extremely loud) attached video.

Their beat writer thinks that if they lose out on RGIII (which they now have), that they would rather stick with McCoy or move back and draft Tannehill than pluck up the released Kolb. Also mentions that she thinks the Browns never had a real interest in Kolb last season (further fuel for the "Cards bidding against themselves" fire)

I realize most people on the board knew it would never happen, but this should kill the "trade Kolb to Cleveland for a pick" hopes.

I think if the Cards land Manning and waive Kolb that he is really going to struggle to find a job. He will want to go somewhere and compete for a starting gig and I dont think any team will grant him that opportunity. Someone will eventually sign him but he will end up pretty deep on a depth chart.

Cleveland is going after Flynn. If they don't get him then we'll see if they go after Kolb, or anyone else.

It will be interesting to watch.

Say Manning picks us or Denver. Cleveland loses out on Flynn and moves their sites on Tannehill for their #4 pick. Only one of Miami or Seattle gets to pick up Flynn. Does that put the Vikings on trade watch one pick before Cleveland with the Flynn loser to jump the Browns for Tannehill?

That's what I think. And I think that Miami takes Tannehill after signing Manning.

Whether or not they want Kolb, they were never going to give anything up for him.

So Miami is going to sign Manning and then help him win now by drafting his replacement in the first round?

If that is really their plan then we don't have to worry about Manning going to the Dolphins.

Who are the Fins going to draft in the first that would help them more than the group they've already got? Just because you sign Manning doesn't mean you turn the Franchise over to him.

If that IS the cost, it's too much.

So we have a high priced QB with injury issues that screwed up our draft this year and nobody wants him.

Easy to say now but if the Cards could have waited a year we would have been in much better shape to get a QB. More to choose from.
