Nearly a decade later, the Browns may finally get the quarterback they missed out on

A blast from the past (sort of) is on the Browns’ radar for quarterback.

Back in 2016, the Cleveland Browns held the No. 2 overall pick of the draft, with a chance to select QB Carson Wentz. Instead, they traded the pick to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Cleveland’s first-round pick ended up being WR Corey Coleman (and the quarterback they drafted in the third round was Cody Kessler). Nearly a decade later, they may get a chance to get Wentz after all.

At the beginning of March, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler listed Wentz as one of the quarterbacks the Browns could have interest in this offseason.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer, there is “definitely mutual interest” between the Browns and Wentz, to make him the team’s bridge quarterback, if they don’t sign veteran QB Russell Wilson:

Wentz spent five years with the Eagles before they gave up on him. Since then, Wentz has bounced between the Colts, Commanders, Rams, and Chiefs, sometimes as a backup quarterback. Wentz may not be the most appealing quarterback to excite fans, but he has had some efficient years under his belt — most recently when he threw for 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions with the Colts in 2021. You have to imagine that head coach Kevin Stefanski believes he can work wonders with just about any quarterback not named Deshaun Watson.

Browns fans, what would you think if Carson Wentz was the Browns’ top quarterback option in 2025?
