Developing Green in two or three capacities that help the browns make sense and good use of his roster spot. If we take Sorsby(?) it feels like drawing to an inside straight (again). I am more comfortable picking him up if we "weed" the QB room or have a reliable sense of how he can work out. I will be clear: I feel no pressure to check him out, become part of this gambling taint, and import his baggage and issues on fans' sayso. MKC seems to want some QB controversy again, and annual failing.
Just say no. Cheap picks with problems are not bargains for the roster or the ;locker room chemistry. As I have stated before, I am not that curious.

Given the flux in the current QB room I don't think we will take Sorsby, or at least with anything but a late pick....say 6th round. He has already missed enough time this year to make him useless for this season, not counting anything the NFL docks him.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

I agree. I don't think we will be able to get him to the practice squad. .

I’m curious why? No other team wanted him before the SIXTH round. These end of draft picks don’t always make a roster. Why do you think all of a sudden one of them would want to sign him to their 53 man roster without even working him out? They can’t sign a player off a practice squad to another practice squad, they have to sign him directly to their 53 man roster.

If the Browns don’t see enough to have him on the 53, I just don’t think other teams would either at this point. If they aren’t going to sign him, don’t play him in the preseason.

The player has to clear waivers before he can be placed on the practice squad. He can be signed as a FA.

I guess we will find out if we try to move him off the roster at cut downs.

Exactly, a team would have to sign him to the 53 man roster. If they didn’t want him after 6 rounds, who is going to replace one of the slots with a QB that the Browns don’t even want on the 53?

Any team who wants a gadget QB and who is thin at the bottom of their roster.... or, any team that decides they want to try him at WR, or KR. He's in the NFL now; if we waive him, any team can claim him off waivers for free and they then own his rights. Green would have to refuse to sign any contract for the full season to get free of that.

Taylen Green-6-6/227...

Posted a record-breaking 2026 NFL Combine performance:
...43.5" Vertical Jump
...11'2" Broad Jump
...4.36 40-yd

...all the best marks by a QB since 2003
...posted an Athleticism Score of 97

IMO, it would be a foolish risk for the Browns management to attempt to place Green on waivers...he would be claimed in a heart beat.

Agreed, and I feel there is absolutely zero chance of it happening.

Unless he is a complete flop and implodes, he is on the roster. We drafted him to develop him - or to see if he can be developed, I guess.
If tons of work and lots of coaching can help him improve his throwing/accuracy, the kid will have a legit chance to be something. is athleticism buys him the ticket to stay and will almost certainly ensure that he gets on the field for some gadget plays this year (think Lamar's early days).

If the Colts cut Deion Burks, would it be foolish not to claim him? One of the best performers of the combine overall, taken in the 7th round....

I think some people are reading way too much into combine statistics.

If he's a QB, he's a QB and is usually taken way higher than he should have been. He was passed by every team for 5 full rounds. That tells me no one really thinks much of him as a QB.

This is the NFL, if roster spots were plenty, everyone would have a gadget QB on the roster. As it is, until they made a new rule for emergency QBs, NO ONE carried (3) QBs on the roster. Ask yourself why that is and it will explain why I feel he might not make this roster.

How many teams that are "thin" at any position is going to use that spot on a gadget QB?

For the record, he can't just refuse to sign with the new team. He has already signed his rookie contract, so any team that wants to claim him will get him at the 6th round rookie deal he has already signed. If he refuses to play, he is most likely out of the league for good.
