Former Packers QB Young to work out for Browns

I guess the Packers weren't so crazy last year after all. 

According to NFL.com Around the League Writer Dan Hanzus, the AFC North's Cleveland Browns, a team currently without a QB after getting rid of Brandon Weeden earlier this offseason, will give Free Agent veteran Vince Young a chance to work out during a minicamp session this week. Young, as you may or may not remember, briefly played for Green Bay during last year's preseason, nearly making the roster as the club's backup hurler before a week 4, 14 of 30 for 144 yards disaster in Kansas City made him get released.

Now since this guy hasn't played in a meaningful game since 2012 (when he uncontributively backed up for the "dream team" 8-8 Eagles before spending the 2012 preseason in Buffalo for some reason) and I was kind of routing for him last year, I'll go ahead and say I support him here. At age 30, the odds of him making the Browns, or any NFL or Canadien Football League team for that matter, are obviously pretty stacked against him, but still, it could definitely happen. I guess that's enough of a reason to pay attention to this.

Could the Packers make a run at Brandon Weeden?

Yesterday, as you might've heard, Browns QB Brandon Weeden made headlines around the sports world by saying that he wants to leave the team. Now of course, it's still likely that he won't actually get his wish, but hearing that story immediately made me wonder: could the Packers make a run at him, if he becomes available? The simple answer to that question: yea, they could.

Last season, Weeden had an awful QBR of 24.7, which, while terrible, was still 5.3 points higher than Matt Flynn's 19.4. So yea, in my opinion, Ted Thompson should at least check in on this guy. He could actually end up being the backup they've been looking for.
