00:00And then the Cleveland Browns made a trade with the Eagles.

00:03The Eagles trading Kenny Pickett to Cleveland.

00:06The Browns, in return, send back Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the QB, and a fifth-round pick.

00:12Kenny Pickett was great when he played this year for Philadelphia in the absence of the

00:17injured Jalen Hurts.

00:19Now has a shot to contend for that starting job in Cleveland.

00:23But you just sent me a tweet from a radio station in Cleveland.

00:27Here for you, Cleveland, let's make sure we get the actual call letters there.

00:31All Things Cleveland Sports, as they really follow everything, and citing a report from

00:38Zach Jackson, who is the Browns' beat writer for The Athletic, that the Browns are going

00:44to try to make a run for Kirk Cousins and could end up with the quarterback via a trade

00:51by this weekend.

00:52Now that would be a big-time move for the Browns in terms of bringing back Miles Garrett,

00:57making him the richest non-quarterback in NFL history, trying to make sure they can

01:02pay out the end of that Deshaun Watson deal.

01:05Probably have to foot a pretty hefty bill for Kirk Cousins as well.

01:09Yeah, I mean, again, now you get, you know, a definite upgrade at the quarterback position,

01:15right?

01:16It's going to be Kenny Pickett and potentially Kirk Cousins battling it out, which would

01:21be very good for the offense, right?

01:23At least you don't have Dorian Thompson-Robinson waiting in the wings.

01:27He's shipped off to the Eagles, right?

01:29You know, that inexperience you can't go into in terms of the regular season.

01:34You bring in two veteran guys.

01:36One was a first-round selection, Kenny Pickett, that never lived up to expectations with Pittsburgh,

01:41a backup.

01:42Now he has the opportunity to beat out Kirk Cousins.

01:45And now Stefanski, who got the most out of Flacco and some of those garbage quarterbacks,

01:50right, now has the ability to maybe coach up Pickett or Kirk Cousins to a 10-win football

01:57season.

01:58So is it, you know, elite quarterback play?

02:00No, but it's solid enough to where you say, OK, our style is run the football.

02:06Let's try and get into games into the fourth quarter.

02:08Let's see if Miles Garrett and that defense can steal it.

02:12And they're right back into the mix to potentially be an eight- or nine-win football team.

02:16And I think if you're a Browns fan, that's what you're hoping on.

02:20You didn't want a three- or four-win season.

02:22You wanted the ability to at least challenge eight or nine in the AFC North.
