Report: Browns tried to trade for Smith before Redskins deal
by from on (#3EPTV)
The Cleveland Browns just can't find a quarterback.
The Browns tried to trade for Alex Smith prior to the Kansas City Chiefs reportedly agreeing to send the veteran signal-caller to the Washington Redskins, a league source told Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com.
Six teams - likely including the Browns - showed interest in acquiring Smith, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Browns own the No. 1 overall pick and over $100 million in cap space, so they have the ammunition to make some serious noise in the quarterback market this offseason to finally fill their void under center - it just won't be Smith.
