Vince Young trying out for Cleveland Browns

[BevoBlake]

Another chance for Vince Young?

I'd love to see this guy get it together and have another run. He had far too much potential to just dwindle from the NFL's memory like he has.

Has to be better than anything Cleveland has had in quite a while.

Besides, Colt McCoy.

I would enjoy seeing VY get a legit shot. Two reservations with this scenario...

1. QB's die in Cleveland. I don't have enough faith in the team that would surround Young to hope that an opportunity there would be representative of his ability.

2. He hasn't played since 2011. That's a tremendously long time for a job that requires consistent repetition & practice. Assuming he's been working out means that he'd do well in combine-style drills, but put him in any kind of structured scrimmage and it would be tough on him.

Theoretically interesting: Johnny Manziel and Vince Young on same team.

hoping for the best for VY, but has there ever been a QB sit out two full seasons and return to the league ??

Didn't Doug Flutie take some time off and then come back and do well in the NFL?

he was out of the nfl for several years, but he was playing in canada the whole time and wasn't inactive like vince (i think).

Kyle Shanahan is the OC in Cleveland now. Imagine he knows a little bit about Vince.

 

[primal defense]

I was hoping Vince would get another tryout with a NFL team, oh well I guess Cleveland will do.

Tommy Maddox left the NFL one year and ended up becoming an Insurance agent for a while in Dallas. Then he ended up signing with a team in the XFL, tore it up on the field and got a new deal with the Steelers. I think he was gone from the NFL for three years. Gone from Football entirely for one-two years.

 

[Sean Adams]

I had a bunch of people messing with me about VY today. I don't kknow if he can be a viable QB in the NFL but as long as I can look at the crappy two and three QB's in the NFL and think, "Hell VY has to be better than that!" I'll keep saying he should get a shot.

 

[HornEsch]

I thought he didn't want to play in the CFL

How long was Kurt Warner out? Remember, sacking groceries?

vince young, has more "change" than a las vegas slot machine.  why doesn't he just take the ut job for god's sake!  he would make a wonderful ambassador as per our university...  the perfect opportunity.

not sure, but i think the league minimum for a 5-year vet is north of $700K. eventually i'm sure he will make a fine ambassodor, but it won't be for that kind of $$$.

 

[PropositionJoe]

just saw a tweet saying that his agent announced that VY will be signing with the browns.

great news. happy for the guy. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Reportedly signing a 1-year deal.  Great news for VY.

Good for Vince!  It seems obvious to me that he has not been fairly considered in other situations.  It seems that he might still have a lot to offer.
