\"Analyst<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Browns will be in the hunt for at least one quarterback again this offseason.<\/p>\n

Jameis Winston is a free agent, Deshaun Watson is hurt and played poorly, and the injury-prone Dorian Thompson-Robinson looked like a third-stringer when given a chance.<\/p>\n

As for Bailey Zappe, he\u2019s more of a practice squad option at this point.<\/p>\n

Keeping this in mind, the Browns are expected to pursue both a rookie in the NFL Draft and a veteran through free agency.<\/p>\n

NFL insider Zac Jackson named Mac Jones as one potential option for the Browns:<\/p>\n

\u201cA first-round pick of New England in 2021, Jones has made 49 career starts. He wasn\u2019t awful in seven starts for Jacksonville this season (65 percent completion rate, 8-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio), but evaluators probably believe Jones has a ceiling. He could be a bridge quarterback or a clear No. 2 for some team in 2025,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the fans might not be thrilled to think that Jones might be a realistic option in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

\"Pro<\/p>\n

While he looked somewhat promising in his first year in the league, he left plenty to be desired after that.<\/p>\n

Granted, Bill Belichick didn\u2019t put him in a position to succeed, but he didn\u2019t look much better with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.<\/p>\n

He can make some plays and maybe lead a team to a win or two as a backup, but his ceiling as a starter is more than evident.<\/p>\n

There were mixed reviews about him coming out of Alabama, and he hasn\u2019t done much to silence the critics in the pros.<\/p>\n

The Browns should look at all their options, but better ones will be available.<\/p>\n
