Kessler was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 93rd overall pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.[13]

On June 9, 2016, the Cleveland Browns signed Kessler to a four-year, $3.85 million contract with a signing bonus of $664,788.[14][15]

Kessler began the 2016 season as the third string quarterback behind Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown. He became the backup quarterback after Robert Griffin III suffered an injury during the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.[16] On September 25, 2016, Kessler made his first career start after McCown was injured the week prior. He finished his debut completing 21 of 33 attempts for 244 passing yards as the Browns lost to the Miami Dolphins in overtime 24–30.[17] The following week, he earned his second consecutive start against the Washington Redskins and completed 21 of 40 pass attempts for 223 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Kessler also fumbled twice, threw his first career touchdown on a 9-yard pass to Terrelle Pryor, and has his first career interception picked off by Josh Norman during the Brown's 20-32 loss.

On October 16, 2016, Kessler completed 26/41 pass attempts for a season-high 335-yards and two touchdowns during a 26-28 loss to the Tennessee Titans.[18] The next game, he completed 9/11 pass attempts for 82 passing yards and suffered a concussion in the second quarter after Bengal's defensive tackle Domata Peko hit him during a pitch to Gary Barnidge. The Browns went on to lose to the Cincinnati Bengals 17-31 and Kessler was replaced by fellow rookie Kevin Hogan.[19] In Week 11, he made his eighth start of his rookie season against the Pittsburgh Steelers and finished the game with 7 completions out of 14 attempts while throwing an interception. In the third quarter, while being tackles by Steeler's linebacker Ryan Shazier, Kessler suffered a concussion after he was hit by Steeler's inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons. Josh McCown started in Kessler's place the following week and Robert Griffin III became the starting quarterback after returning from injury during Week 14. (Wikipedia)

Window nº 1 1-12-2016	Detmer was traded to the Cleveland Browns in 1999; the Browns wanted him to mentor rookie quarterback Tim Couch. Detmer started the first game of the 1999 season, then served as backup until Couch sprained his foot in week 15. He started the final game of the 1999 season.[8] Detmer injured his right Achilles and was inactive the entire 2000 season. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 2 2-12-2016	Couch's college success culminated in his selection as the number one overall selection in the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns, who were returning to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999 following the original team's 1996 relocation to Baltimore. Couch took over for Ty Detmer as the team's starting quarterback in the second game of his rookie season. The Browns front office had high expectations for Couch. Spokesperson John Schober was quoted in 2003 as saying the former Kentucky All-American would win at least six playoff games.[citation needed] He spent five seasons as a starting quarterback for Cleveland, eventually facing competition from journeyman backup Kelly Holcomb during his final two seasons. Couch's tenure in Cleveland ranged from leading the team to a playoff appearance, to boos and inconsistent play, which was partially a result of being constantly plagued by injuries. Couch's tenure with the team often included playing behind an offensive line hampered by injury.[4] He missed the final nine games of the 2000 season with a broken thumb. The high point of Couch's career came in 2002, when he threw for 2,842 yards and 18 touchdowns in leading the upstart Browns to a 9-7 record and a playoff appearance.[5] However, he suffered a broken leg in the final game of the regular season and was forced to watch as Holcomb threw for over 400 yards in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. This was the beginning of a quarterback controversy in Cleveland that would not be resolved until a year later when head coach Butch Davis tapped Holcomb as his starter. By the end of the 2003 season, after exhausting both quarterbacks with the rotation,[6] it became clear that Davis, struggling with a 5-11 football team, would never give Couch the opportunity to start again.[7] Couch is considered by Fox Sports to be one of the NFL's biggest draft busts in its history after being taken #1 with high expectations only to falter through most of his career.[8] However, Couch's career has also been defended by former Browns offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.[9] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 3 3-12-2016	Pederson originally signed as a rookie free agent by the Miami Dolphins in 1991[4] out of the Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Louisiana.[5] For several years, Pederson bounced on and off of the Dolphins' roster, spending time on their practice squad before settling onto their roster in 1993. He also helped Don Shula win his NFL record 325th victory as a coach when starting quarterback Scott Mitchell went down with an injury in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles on November 14, 1993.[6] In 1992, Pederson played for the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football. Pederson returned to the World League in 1995, playing for the Rhein Fire. In 1995, Pederson was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the NFL Expansion Draft,[7] but he was released by the Panthers prior to training camp that year.[8] For the 1996-1998 seasons, Pederson was the Packers' backup quarterback.[5] In 1999 he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles to serve as a temporary starter until then-rookie Donovan McNabb was ready to start.[9] The next year Pederson filled the same role for the Cleveland Browns and their sophomore quarterback, Tim Couch. In 2001, Pederson again joined Green Bay, and he remained the backup quarterback there, up until his retirement after the 2004 NFL season.[5] After the 2004 season, due to injury, Pederson retired from football. He is now the Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 4 4-12-2016	Wynn was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the 6th round (183rd overall) in 2000. He was the previous quarterback drafted in that draft before New England drafted Tom Brady. Wynn proceeded to play for the Browns in 2000, seeing action in 7 games. including one start - a 48-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.[1] With the Browns, Wynn went 22 for 54 (40.7%) passing, for 167 yards, no touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 41.2. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 5 5-12-2016	A backup to Peyton Manning of Indianapolis, Holcomb was cut in the 2000 off-season to be allowed to compete for the starting job with the Cleveland Browns, following Bruce Arians who left as the QB coach of the Colts to become the offensive coordinator of the Browns. The Browns had drafted Tim Couch with the number 1 pick in the 1999 draft. During their time in Cleveland, Holcomb occasionally outshined the former number one pick. In his first season as a Brown, Holcomb played in only one game which he completed seven of twelve passes for 114 yards and a passing touchdown. In Holcomb's second season he played in four games and started two games in which he threw eight touchdowns and four interceptions with 790 passing yards and a strong play-off performance in a loss to the Steelers where he threw for 429 yards and three touchdowns.[2] In 2003, his third season, he had more playing time playing ten games and starting eight of them. He replaced Tim Couch as starting quarterback during that season. In that season he threw ten touchdowns and twelve interceptions. In his final season as a Brown Jeff Garcia replaced him as starting quarterback. Holcomb only played in four games and started two of them in which he threw seven touchdowns and five interceptions with 737 yards passing. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 6 6-12-2016	Garcia signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns on March 9, 2004. Garcia was released by the Browns after the 2004 season, in which he struggled to find any consistency and battled with injuries. On September 19, 2004, Garcia completed 8 of 27 passes for 71 yards and 3 interceptions in a 19–12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, resulting in a career-low passer rating of 0. Despite his struggles, Garcia tied the record for longest career pass play (99 yards) on a completion to André Davis on October 17, 2004, in a win against the Cincinnati Bengals. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 7 7-12-2016	McCown was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He went on to start in four games for Cleveland. After the season he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the weekend of the 2005 NFL Draft. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 8 8-12-2016	In March 2005 Dilfer was traded to the Cleveland Browns where it was hoped he would mentor rookie quarterback Charlie Frye. Naming Dilfer the starting quarterback for the 2005 NFL season, the idea was to work Frye into the lineup under the veteran's tutelage, but a behind-the-scenes dispute with then-offensive coordinator Maurice Carthon resulted in Dilfer's wanting out of Cleveland almost immediately. In his lone season for the Browns, Dilfer passed for 2,321 yards and 11 touchdowns, throwing 12 interceptions and fumbling 9 times (losing 7 of those). His passer rating was 76.9. He did however have the highest completion percentage of his career at 59.8 percent. The Browns would fall to 6–10. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 9 9-12-2016	Frye was selected in the third round (67th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Browns.[7] His first NFL start came against the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 13. He passed for 226 yards with two touchdowns, both to fellow rookie Braylon Edwards, and set a Browns rookie record for a single game with a 136.7 passer rating. Frye started the final five games of the 2005 season for the Browns, compiling a record of 2-3. Frye was named starting quarterback for the 2006 NFL season.[8] After a battle in the preseason with Derek Anderson and rookie Brady Quinn, Frye won the starting quarterback job for the 2007 season. In the first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Frye struggled during the first few minutes.[9] Anderson replaced him for the remainder of the game. Anderson remained the starter for the rest of the year and made the Pro Bowl. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 10 10-12-2016	Anderson joined the Browns in 2005. He did not see any action, being third on the depth chart behind Trent Dilfer and Charlie Frye. 2006 Anderson served as Frye's backup for the Cleveland Browns in the 2006 season. He made his first appearance in an NFL regular season game against the Denver Broncos at Cleveland Browns Stadium, October 22, 2006, taking one snap after Frye was briefly shaken up. His second NFL appearance was more noteworthy. After Frye injured his wrist during the first half of Cleveland's December 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Anderson played the entire second half. He threw his first two NFL touchdown passes in that game, connecting with tight end Steve Heiden twice in the fourth quarter. Anderson scrambled for 33 yards in overtime, moving the ball from the Kansas City 45-yard line to the 12-yard line, after which the Browns were in field goal range. Anderson's play was instrumental in leading the Browns back from a 28–14 deficit to a 31–28 overtime victory. 2007 Although some reports said he outplayed incumbent starter Frye and rookie Brady Quinn in mini camp, Anderson was not as productive in the pre-season games and Frye was named the starter for the 2007 season. Head Coach Romeo Crennel earlier said that the two were so close in effectiveness that he would use a coin toss to decide which QB would start the first preseason game. Anderson would take over for Frye in the 2007 opener after Frye was ineffective in the first quarter against the arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was Frye's last in a Browns uniform, as he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth round draft pick two days later. Named the starting quarterback by Crennel for Week 2, Anderson threw for 328 yards and five touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in his first start. His passer rating for the game was 121.0 as the Browns defeated the Bengals 51-45, solidifying Anderson's role. In the same game, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer threw for six touchdown passes. It was only the third time in NFL history that two quarterbacks had thrown at least five touchdown passes in the same game.[2] On September 30, Anderson beat the team that had originally drafted him, the Baltimore Ravens. He threw for two touchdowns and 204 yards, completing 10 of 18 pass attempts with just one interception. The Browns would later beat the Ravens again, making it the first time since 2001 that the Browns were able to sweep the Ravens. In Week 13 of the 2007 season the Browns faced the Arizona Cardinals. Down 27–21 late in the 4th, the Browns drove down to the Cardinals 34-yard line. On fourth down, Anderson threw a pass to the end zone which was caught by Kellen Winslow. The pass was ruled out of bounds and held up through review. Anderson argued that Winslow was forced out, but the force-out rule was not reviewable. The game was notable for the referee's missed call of a Braylon Edwards catch and tackle by contact, but mistakenly ruled a touchdown as Edwards got up and ran to the endzone. Another close game that could have put the Browns in the playoffs was December 23 against the Cincinnati Bengals, in which the Browns went scoreless in the first half, but held the Bengals scoreless in the second half. Anderson had four interceptions, two of them in consecutive plays, and one more in the Cincinnati end zone as Cleveland appeared to be heading for a scoring drive. The Browns had two turnover-on-downs possession. Anderson threw two touchdown passes to Braylon Edwards, Cleveland's only scores in the game. The game ended in a 19–14 loss. Anderson led the Browns to a 10-6 overall record, 10-5 in games in which he started. Anderson finished with 29 touchdowns to 19 interceptions. During the week of December 12–18, Anderson was named as a first alternate for the 2008 Pro Bowl at quarterback.[3] On February 4, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots announced he would not be attending the Pro Bowl due to injury. This paved the way for Anderson to make his first appearance in the Pro Bowl. 2008 On February 29, 2008, the first day of free agency, after speculation that Anderson would leave Cleveland to pursue a bigger contract, Anderson agreed to a three-year contract to stay with the Browns through the 2010 season.[4] With fans split between the proven Anderson and the locally-homegrown Quinn (an image of Quinn wearing a Bernie Kosar jersey as a kid was shown at the 2007 NFL Draft), many were speculating if the Browns were in a similar position the San Diego Chargers were in a few years back with Drew Brees and their first-round pick Philip Rivers.[5] The 2008 season was a tough one for the Browns and Anderson. In the preseason he suffered a concussion when he was sacked by Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants. This would prevent him from practicing for the majority of the preseason. In the regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, he was 11 of 24 for 110 yards and 1 touchdown. On November 3, after starting out the season the Browns announced that Anderson would be benched in favor of Quinn. On November 23, during a game against the Houston Texans, Quinn was benched by Crennel in favor of Anderson. On November 25, Quinn was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a broken finger and Anderson was renamed the starting quarterback. On November 30, Anderson was injured during a game versus the Indianapolis Colts. It was later revealed to be a MCL injury, which put Anderson out for the season. Ken Dorsey came into the starting role, but could not save the Browns. The Browns lost the last 4 games to finish with a 4-12 record. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 11 11-12-2016	Coming into the draft Quinn was considered to be one of the top players in the country, and was invited to the draft. Before the draft started, Quinn was labeled as a "franchise quarterback in the mold of Carson Palmer."[21] He was projected to be picked in the top ten and even could have been the number one overall pick.[22][23][24] While some suspected the Cleveland Browns would select Quinn with the third pick, he fell to the 22nd pick in the draft before being picked up by Browns.[25] Following the draft, Quinn was criticized by fellow Notre Dame quarterback Joe Theismann in a radio interview, claiming that Quinn looked "unprofessional" when he was on stage following his name being called. Theismann was bothered by the appearance of Quinn's hair and the fact that he was chewing gum. Quinn responded, saying, "I apologize to anyone, obviously, who is a Notre Dame alum, or for those fans who thought I wasn't being very business like. I was there for awhile, and at that moment in time, when you finally get picked after waiting for 4 1/2 hours, the last thought in my head was spit out your gum, fix your hair or make sure your shirt and everything looked good. I was just trying to get on stage as fast as possible and get that Browns jersey in my hand."[26] Cleveland Browns Quinn's NFL debut as a Brown 2007 Quinn signed a five-year deal with the Browns worth a reported $20.2 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed and up to $30 million in incentives.[27] Quinn was originally placed third on the Browns' depth chart behind Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson. However, after a 34–7 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, Frye was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth round draft pick, moving Quinn to second on the Browns' depth chart.[28] On December 30, 2007, when Anderson hurt his pinky and wrist, Quinn made his official NFL debut in the Browns' final game of the season against the San Francisco 49ers. Although going 3 for 8 passing Quinn led the Browns to the redzone, but failed to score. Despite speculation that the Browns would trade Anderson to get back into the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft,[29] Browns' general manager Phil Savage later stated that he hoped to sign Anderson, and keep both quarterbacks for the 2008 season.[30] 2008 After leading the Browns to a 10-6 record, Derek Anderson was named the starting quarterback for the 2008 season, leaving Quinn on the sidelines once again. However, after a mediocre 3–5 start by the team, head coach Romeo Crennel named Quinn the starting quarterback for the Browns' upcoming game against the Denver Broncos.[31] Though he played well, and helped the Browns build a two-touchdown lead into the third quarter, the Broncos rallied back to win, causing Quinn's first official start to end in a loss. However, he went on to win the next game against the Buffalo Bills, but he broke his finger during this victory, and though he tried to play through it during the next game against the Houston Texans, he announced on November 25 that he would have surgery, sidelining him for the rest of the 2008 season.[32] 2009 Soon after the season was over, Romeo Crennel was fired as head coach and was replaced by former New York Jets coach Eric Mangini, who was unsure of who would be the Browns's starting quarterback. Thus, a competition for the starting job between Quinn and Anderson occurred throughout the offseason. Four days before the Browns's 2009 opener, it was announced that Quinn would be the starter. Quinn continued to be the Browns' starter until Game 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, when he was benched at halftime in favor of Anderson. The following week, Mangini named Anderson the starter. Quinn did not play again until Week 8, when he was brought in with three minutes to go in a 30–6 loss against the Chicago Bears. As the Browns headed into their bye week, it was not indicated who would be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. However, it was announced five days before their Week 10 Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens, that Quinn was once again being awarded the starting quarterback position. Though he struggled in his first game back, as the Browns were shut out 16–0, Quinn followed it up in Week 11 with his best professional outing yet, throwing for 304 yards with 4 touchdowns against the Detroit Lions. Quinn set a record for the Cleveland Browns that day being the only QB in franchise history to throw 3 touchdowns in one quarter. The Browns later defeated the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, Quinn's first win of 2009 as the starting quarterback. The next week the Browns defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 41–34, despite Quinn injuring his foot during the game. On December 22, the Browns placed Quinn on Injured Reserve for the last 2 games of the season with a "Lisfranc" foot injury.[33] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 12 12-12-2016	In May 2006, Dorsey was traded to the Cleveland Browns along with a 7th round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft for veteran quarterback Trent Dilfer, after having just re-signed with the 49ers. During training camp, Dorsey and Derek Anderson competed for the 2nd string position behind starter Charlie Frye. In the battle which ended in a virtual tie, Dorsey went on to serve as the 3rd string quarterback behind Anderson for all of the 2006 season. Dorsey was named the starter for the week 17 game against the Houston Texans but the previously injured Charlie Frye replaced him just minutes before the game. The Browns went on to lose to the Texans as Frye threw an interception and no touchdown passes. Dorsey's hopes of becoming a starter for the Cleveland Browns became much more bleak after the Browns drafted quarterback Brady Quinn of the University of Notre Dame with the 22nd overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Quinn and Dorsey battled for position on the Browns' QB depth chart throughout the 2007 NFL Pre-season. On September 1, 2007 the Browns released Dorsey. After a disappointing loss to Pittsburgh in Week 1, Frye was traded to Seattle and Dorsey was re-signed by the Browns in a reserve role. Derek Anderson had a break-through season in 2007, further diminishing the chances of Dorsey receiving playing time. On November 30, 2008, Dorsey was sent into the game against the Indianapolis Colts after Derek Anderson was injured; he made two passes, one incomplete the other an interception. On December 2, Derek Anderson was put on injured reserve ending his season. Dorsey was named the starter for the remainder of the 2008 season. However, Dorsey was injured during the December 21st game that was against the Bengals. Fourth string QB Bruce Gradkowski started in place of Dorsey in week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dorsey was released by the Browns on February 9, 2009. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 13 13-12-2016	Gradkowski was signed by the Cleveland Browns as their fourth-string quarterback on December 2, 2008 after quarterback Derek Anderson was placed on injured reserve. He was the starter for the Browns' 2008 season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 28, 2008, after injuries to Anderson, Brady Quinn, and Ken Dorsey.[6] Gradkowski was waived on February 9, 2009. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 14 14-12-2016	McCoy was drafted in the third round as the 85th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2010 NFL Draft.[135] One reporter commented that McCoy was drafted later than expected because "he lacks NFL size..., has small hands and was injured in the last game of his career at Texas."[136] In response to being chosen by Cleveland, McCoy said, "I can't wait to be a Cleveland Brown and that we're going to win a lot of games. Cleveland has a little orange in their jerseys just like UT. It's a perfect fit."[135] On July 23, McCoy agreed to terms on a four-year, $5 million contract.[137] Pointing out that Cleveland already had three quarterbacks, Browns president Mike Holmgren said McCoy would likely not play his first season with the team in order to develop him as an NFL quarterback.[138] However, because injuries to starting quarterback Jake Delhomme and back-up Seneca Wallace, McCoy made his first career start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 6.[139] McCoy completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in the Browns' loss. He also scrambled four times for 22 yards. McCoy started the following week against the New Orleans Saints and contributed to the surprising victory over the defending Super Bowl champions 30-17 in New Orleans.[140] On November 7, McCoy made his third consecutive start and led the Browns to another upset victory, this time against the New England Patriots 34-14. He then started again on November 14 against the New York Jets; however the Browns lost in overtime with McCoy throwing for 205 yards and a touchdown. McCoy injured his ankle in week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and missed the next three weeks before returning to start under center against the Cincinnati Bengals in week 15. McCoy threw for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions, but Cleveland lost. In each of the final two games against division rivals Baltimore and Pittsburgh, McCoy threw 3 interceptions as the Browns lost both games. McCoy finished the season with 6 touchdowns against 9 interceptions. 2011 McCoy in 2012 After a long-awaited pre-season after the agreements from the NFL lockout, and the release of Delhomme, McCoy became the starter for the Browns. In the home opener against the Bengals, McCoy threw 19 for 40 attempts throwing 213 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a 27-17 loss. The next two weeks, the Browns defeated the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins with McCoy throwing combined 41 of 71 attempts, 421 yards, and 3 touchdowns with 1 interception. Against the Tennessee Titans in week 5, Colt threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception in a 13-31 loss. After a bye week, McCoy and the Browns lost to the Oakland Raiders 17-24, McCoy threw for 215 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. After the loss to the Oakland Raiders the Browns played the Seattle Seahawks and won 6-3 as McCoy finished with 178 yards, no touchdowns, and 1 interception. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, McCoy threw 2 interceptions and no touchdowns in a 3-14 loss where McCoy would also sustain a concussion. His father raised eyebrows when he questioned whether or not McCoy's team had properly evaluated him for the concussion prior to returning to the game. McCoy stated that he did not remember anything. James Harrison, the Steelers player responsible for the helmet-to-helmet hit on McCoy, was subsequently punished by being suspended for the Steelers' next game against the San Francisco 49ers. 2012 McCoy spent the 2012 season backing up Browns' rookie first round pick Brandon Weeden.[141] When Weeden was injured against the Denver Broncos, McCoy completed 9 out of his 17 pass attempts for 79 yards.[142] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 15 15-12-2016	On March 13, 2010, Delhomme signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns.[33] Delhomme won the starting quarterback job over Seneca Wallace after competing with him during training camp. However, he suffered a high ankle sprain during the second quarter of the Browns' first game of the season, a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Delhomme had been notably grounded and thrown to the ground by Lions DT Ndamukong Suh, in a preseason game.) Delhomme would see action again midway through the team's Week 5 game after Seneca Wallace also injured his ankle. However, he was noticeably not 100% while playing and ultimately re-injured his ankle. Jake Delhomme started against his former team the Carolina Panthers, after Colt McCoy suffered a high ankle sprain. It was Delhomme's first start since Week 1. For the season, he threw 2 TD and 7 INT while going 2-3 as a starter. [34] On July 28, 2011, he was released by Cleveland.[35] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 16 16-12-2016	On March 8, 2010 Wallace was traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 7th round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. With this trade, Wallace was reunited with his former Seattle coach and then-Browns president Mike Holmgren. He made his regular season debut September 12, 2010 after starting quarterback Jake Delhomme injured his ankle during a week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He would go on to start the next four games before suffering a high ankle sprain during week 5 versus the Atlanta Falcons.[1] On March 3, 2011, Wallace signed a three-year deal with the Browns.[2] Wallace was released by the Cleveland Browns after the conclusion of the 2012 preseason. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 17 17-12-2016	Weeden was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft; he became the oldest player ever taken in the first round, at 28 years old.[8] 2012 season Edit Weeden (left) and Colt McCoy during Browns training camp Going into the 2012 regular season, the Browns named Weeden their starting quarterback.[9] In his first game, Weeden had a 5.1 passer rating after throwing four interceptions in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, which is the sixth lowest in a season opener by any quarterback attempting at least 15 passes since the merger in 1970.[10] However, one week later, he was much improved throwing for 2 touchdowns, completed 26 passes on 37 attempts for 322 yards, no interceptions with a passer rating of 114.9. During Week 6, Weeden celebrated his 29th birthday by completing 17 passes on 29 attempts for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns en route to his first NFL win by defeating the intrastate rival Cincinnati Bengals.[11] In the Browns victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12, Weeden's helmet collided with Joe Thomas' knee, giving him a concussion.[12] Weeden practiced three days later, and played the following week against the Oakland Raiders.[13] Weeden threw for a Browns rookie-record 3,385 yards. 2013 season Edit Weeden won the starting job for the 2013 season. Weeden injured his thumb in the fourth quarter of week two 14-6 loss at Baltimore. He smashed his thumb on the helmet of left guard John Greco while throwing a pass and had to leave the game for treatment and X-rays. Backup Jason Campbell played the Browns' final offensive series as they dropped to 0-2. The Browns won their first game of the season under 3rd string quarterback Brian Hoyer, with Weeden sitting with a thumb injury. The following week it was announced Weeden would again sit for Week 4, giving Hoyer another start. On September 28, Weeden admitted that he was not guaranteed to reclaim the starting quarterback position over Hoyer when he returned from injury. The next day the Browns again won under Hoyer, leaving Weeden's status on the team in question. The next day, on September 30, it was announced Weeden would again sit in favor of Hoyer. However, the Browns had still not named who their permanent starter would be going forward. On Thursday Night Football vs the Buffalo Bills, Hoyer went down during the game and was replaced by Weeden. Weeden was able to guide the Browns to their third straight victory as they won 37-24 over the Bills. The next day on October 4, it was announced that Hoyer would miss the rest of the 2013 regular season with a torn ACL. Despite the injury to Hoyer, Weeden was not guaranteed to reclaim the starting quarterback position. Later in the week, it was announced Weeden would start Week 6 for the Browns, and would remain the starter for the future if his play didn't begin to regress. In his Week 6 start, Weeden completed 26 of 43 passes for 292 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions in a 31-17 loss to the Detroit, leading head coach Rob Chudzinski to declare that the Browns would stick with Weeden as the starting quarterback. Weeden put out another poor performance Week 7 vs the Green Bay Packers, completing only 17 of 42 passes for 149 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception in a 31-13 loss to the Packers. On October 23, Weeden was once again benched, this time in favor of Campbell, for the Browns' Week 8 matchup vs. the 7-0 Kansas City Chiefs. On March 12, 2014, the Browns released Weeden after two seasons with the team.[14] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 18 18-12-2016	The Cleveland Browns claimed him off of waivers on September 4, 2011. Lewis was later waived by the Browns on October 11, 2012. He was signed to the practice squad on October 13, 2012. He was again added to the Cleveland Browns active roster December 24, 2012 after injuries to Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy.[3] He made his first career start when the Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 30, 2012 and completed 22 of 32 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Notwithstanding Lewis' performance, the Browns lost 24-10.[4] This performance was particularly noteworthy due to his strong performance against the first-ranked defense of the NFL during the 2012 season.[5] Lewis was waived by the Browns on May 22, 2013.

Window nº 19 19-12-2016	On March 26, 2013, Campbell signed a two-year contract with the Cleveland Browns.[23] On September 18, 2013 it was announced that previous 3rd string QB Brian Hoyer would start ahead of Campbell for the team's next game on September 22, 2013 against the Minnesota Vikings, as starting quarterback Brandon Weeden sat with a thumb injury.[24] On October 23, it was announced Campbell would receive his first start as a Brown Week 8 vs the Kansas City Chiefs.[25] The outing resulted in a 17-23 loss for the Browns, although Campbell's performance was viewed favorably, passing for 293 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions.[26] In week 9 Campbell snapped the Browns 11 game losing streak to the Ravens, throwing for 262 yards and 3 scores on his way to AFC offensive player of the week honors [27] Campbell ended the 2013 season 1-7 as a starter for the Browns. On March 12, 2014, Campbell was released by the Browns, along with fellow quarterback Brandon Weeden.[28] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 20 20-12-2016	On May 16, he was signed by the Cleveland Browns to a 2-year deal.[13] On September 18, in relief of then-starter Brandon Weeden, who was out with a thumb injury, the Browns skipped over 2nd string Jason Campbell and named him the starting quarterback for the Week 3 game against the Minnesota Vikings. He threw for 321 yards with 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in the team's first win of the season. It was announced later in the week that Hoyer would be the Browns' starting quarterback for Week 4 against the rival Cincinnati Bengals, as Weeden remained out with a thumb injury. Hoyer led the Browns to another win, completing 25 of 38 passes for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns, along with throwing no interceptions in a 17–6 victory. The next day on September 30, Hoyer was named the starter for a third straight game, Thursday Night Football vs the Buffalo Bills. Despite being named starter for three straight games, Hoyer was not declared the official starter for the remainder of the 2013 season by Cleveland head coach Rob Chudzinski, who referred to the situation as "a week-to-week thing." He later added that, if Hoyer continued to exceed expectations, he would maintain his starting position. However, Hoyer sustained an ACL tear in the Thursday Night game versus the Buffalo Bills ending his promising season.[14] Hoyer (#6) with Connor Shaw (#9) and Johnny Manziel (#2) in 2014 2014 season With the Browns' releases of Weeden and Campbell to free agency, Hoyer stated that he was confident that he would be the starting quarterback for the Browns, no matter who they would draft in 2014.[15] The Browns drafted Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel 22nd overall, who was known as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2014 NFL draft. Hoyer did not take this as too much of a shock, stating "I don't want people to think I'm sitting at home pouting." Head Coach Mike Pettine stated that Manziel would not simply be handed the job, leaving the starter position open to competition.[16] On August 20, 2014, Hoyer was tabbed the starting quarterback for the Browns to begin the 2014 season.[17] Through the first six weeks the Browns were 3–2, with the two heartbreaking losses coming on last-second scores, and Hoyer possessing a 7–1 TD:INT ratio. During Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, Hoyer threw for 292 yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception. Despite trailing 28–3, Hoyer led the Browns to 26 unanswered points, securing the win with a final score of 29–28. It was the largest comeback victory in franchise history, and the largest for a road team in NFL history.[18] Hoyer led the Browns to a 6–3 start, the franchise's best nine game start since the team started 7–2 in the 1994 season. However, Hoyer struggled in the following four games, throwing only one touchdown while being intercepted eight times. As a result, the Browns lost 3 of those 4 games to fall to 7–6 on the season, jeopardizing their playoff hopes. In a Week 14 home loss to the Colts, Hoyer was 14/31 for 140 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. He was repeatedly booed by fans throughout the game, and was heavily criticized for his performance following the loss. Through 13 games on the season, Hoyer had 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. Hoyer's struggles in this 1–3 stretch led many fans, pundits, and analysts to call for the quarterback to be benched in favor of rookie Johnny Manziel. On December 9, 2014, the Browns announced that Johnny Manziel would start in Week 15 against the Bengals in place of Hoyer.[19] Manziel was injured in the 2nd quarter of the Browns' matchup against the Panthers, and Hoyer entered the game. He threw one touchdown and one interception while going 7/13 with 153 passing yards. In the fourth quarter, he threw an 81-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Cameron to put the Browns up 13–10. However, the Panthers regained the lead on the next drive and went on to win the game 17–13. After the season, Hoyer's contract expired and he became a free agent. (Wikipedia)
Window nº 21 21-12-2016	In January 2014, Manziel announced that he would forgo his junior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.[52] He was projected to be a first-round pick, and as of January 15, 2014, his draft stock was reported to be rising by a consensus of experts who had him pegged as a top-5 pick.[53] Manziel elected to throw during Texas A&M's Pro Day on March 27, 2014, instead of during the NFL Combine. During his pro day, Manziel completed 64 of 66 passes to six different receivers. His pro day performance was well received by sports journalists.[54][55][56][57] Prior to the 2014 NFL Draft, Manziel became one of the most polarizing athletes in pre-draft history, with scouting opinions varying from "undraftable" to "rare competitor".[58] Former NFL head coach Barry Switzer took it to a personal level, criticizing Manziel, saying: "I don’t like his antics. I think he’s an arrogant little prick. I’ve said that and I’ll say it again."[59] Manziel passing at 2014 Browns training camp On draft day, 21 teams, including the Cleveland Browns, passed over Manziel. While Manziel was waiting to get drafted, he texted then-Browns quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains that he wants to "wreck the league" in Cleveland. Loggains forwarded the text to head coach Mike Pettine, who made the decision to trade up to draft Manziel.[60] The Browns drafted him at the 22nd overall pick.[61] Manziel throwing against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014 2014 season On August 22, 2014, he was fined $12,000 by the NFL for a hand gesture (flipping the bird) that he made in a preseason loss to the Washington Redskins.[62] Fellow quarterback Brian Hoyer was named the starter over Manziel for the opening regular-season game.[63] Manziel (#2) with Connor Shaw (#9) and Brian Hoyer (#6) in 2014 On November 30, 2014, Manziel entered the game against the Buffalo Bills during the fourth quarter after an ineffective performance by starting quarterback Brian Hoyer. Manziel went 5 of 8 for 63 yards, and scored his first NFL touchdown on a 10-yard rush in the fourth quarter. The Browns lost 26–10.[64] Manziel made his first NFL start in the Browns' Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.[65] Manziel completed 10-of-18 passes for 80 yards and two interceptions for a 27.3 passer rating while being sacked three times. The Browns lost 30–0.[66] Manziel completed three of eight passes in his second career start against the Carolina Panthers on December 21, 2014. He left the game with a hamstring injury with less than two minutes remaining in the first half and was replaced by Hoyer. The Browns went on to lose 17–13.[67] Manziel was ruled out for the Browns' regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.[68] Overall, Manziel completed 18–of–35 passes for 176 yards and two interceptions, and rushed nine times for 29 yards and one touchdown. Manziel's work ethic and commitment were questioned by over 20 sources within the Cleveland Browns. An anonymous player even called Manziel's rookie season a "100 percent joke." Others within the organization were hopeful about Manziel's future, including cornerback Joe Haden.[69] 2015 season Manziel scrambling vs the Redskins in the 2015 preseason On August 27, Manziel was ruled out for the rest of the preseason with recurring pain in his right elbow. Manziel had been making noticeable improvement in his play.[70] On September 13, Manziel was brought into the game against the New York Jets after starting QB Josh McCown was injured in the first half. Manziel scored his first career passing touchdown with a 54-yard pass to WR Travis Benjamin. However, Manziel committed three turnovers in the second half (two of them being fumbles) as the Jets won 31–10. Manziel started the week 2 game against 2014 Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans. He completed 8 of 15 passes for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns to Travis Benjamin in the 28–14 win. Following McCown's recovery, Manziel did not take the field again until McCown suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of a week 7 game against the St. Louis Rams. Manziel completed 4 of 5 passes for 27 yards in a 24–6 loss. In a week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals, Manziel again took the field in the fourth quarter after McCown suffered another injury. Manziel made his second start of the season in week 9, completing 15 of 33 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown in a 31–10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. In week 10, Manziel had his statistically best game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing 33 of 45 passes for 372 yards and one touchdown. Despite his efforts, however, the Browns lost 30–9. Manziel was announced as the starting quarterback for the rest of the season on November 17.[71] However, Manziel was demoted to third string quarterback behind McCown and Austin Davis a week later after videos surfaced of him partying in Texas over the bye week.[72] As a result, Manziel remained benched in favor of Davis when McCown suffered a season-ending collarbone injury in the subsequent game against the Baltimore Ravens. Manziel was promoted to starter again after the Bengals defeated the Davis-led Browns 37–3.[73] Despite throwing a maligned interception in his return performance, Manziel completed 21 of 31 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown in a 24–10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, ending the Browns' seven-game losing streak.[74] Manziel sat out the last game of the 2015 season with a concussion, with reports circulating that he was in Las Vegas instead of in Cleveland with the team that weekend.[75] The team confirmed that Manziel did miss a scheduled check-in on the morning of the last game of the season.[76] The Browns released him on March 11, 2016.[77] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 22 22-12-2016	Shaw went undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft, and later signed with the Cleveland Browns following the draft.[9] In his preseason debut, he completed 8 of 9 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions against the Washington Redskins.[10] He was released on August 30, 2014, but re-signed to their practice squad the next day.[11][12] Due to injuries from Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer, on December 22, 2014, Shaw was called up from the practice squad to be on the active roster.[13] Shaw was also announced as the starter for the season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.[14] In his first career NFL start against the Baltimore Ravens, Shaw went 14/28 for 177 yards with 1 interception and 0 touchdowns, including a 49-yard pass to wide receiver Taylor Gabriel after avoiding pressure.[15][16] On August 13, 2015, in a preseason game versus the Washington Redskins, Shaw injured multiple ligaments in his thumb, requiring surgery. It was reported that he would be facing a 12-week recovery time along with rehab, likely keep him out for the season.[17] On June 30, 2016, Shaw tweeted his release from the Browns.[18] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 23 23-12-2016	On March 2, 2015, McCown signed a three-year contract worth $14 million with the Cleveland Browns and was named their starter.[80][81][82] At the end of his first drive as a Brown against the New York Jets in Week 1, he made a 13-yard run and tried to jump into the endzone, but he (helicopter) fumbled inches away from the goal line and was taken out of the game due to a concussion. McCown returned in a Week 3 matchup against the Oakland Raiders, where he threw for 341 yards, followed by a 356-yard performance against the San Diego Chargers, with a 4–1 touchdown-interception ratio between the two games, but they were both losses. In a 33–30 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, he set a new career high and he set the Browns record for passing yards in a regular season game with 457 as the Browns moved to 2–3 while McCown was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.[83][84] This was the Browns' first victory in Baltimore since the 2007 season.[84] McCown also became the first player in NFL history to record more than 450 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, a rushing touchdown and no interceptions in one game. He was also the first player in Browns history to pass for more than 300 yards in three straight games. The jerseys that McCown and teammate Gary Barnidge wore during the week 5 Ravens game were sent to, and displayed, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[85] McCown suffered a number of injuries during the year, including a concussion in week 1,[86] a shoulder injury in week 8,[87] and a rib injury in week 9.[88] On November 17, Johnny Manziel was announced as the starter for the rest of the season,[89] but McCown was promoted to starter again after a video surfaced online of Manziel partying.[90] In the ensuing week 12 rematch against the Ravens, McCown suffered a collarbone injury that ended his season.[91] On December 2, 2015, he was placed on injured reserve.[92] He threw for 2,109 yards, twelve touchdowns and four interceptions while also rushing for 98 yards and one touchdown in eight games during the 2015 season.[93] The Browns finished the year with a 3–13 record and were 1–7 in games that McCown started, despite him posting a passer rating of 93.3 on the season.[31][93][94] He was the Browns nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award in 2015.[95] On September 12, 2016, the Browns announced that starting quarterback Robert Griffin III would miss at least eight games due to a broken bone in his left shoulder that he suffered during the team's Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on September 11.[96] McCown then started the Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens, completing 20-of-33 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in the 25-20 Browns loss.[97] On September 19, a day after the game, it was reported that he is expected to be out for a while due to a shoulder injury he suffered during the contest.[98] On September 23, it was revealed that McCown had fractured his left collarbone in the Ravens game.[99][100] He returned from his injury on October 30, completing 25 of 49 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions as the Browns lost 28-31 to the New York Jets.[101] He threw for 228 yards in the first half, which was the most by a Browns quarterback in the first half since 1986.[102] However, he only completed 9 of 22 passes for 113 yards in the second half.[101] On November 4, Cody Kessler, who was returning from injury, was named the Browns' starter for the next game.[103] (Wikipedia)
Window nº 24 24-12-2016	On September 7, 2015, Davis signed with the Cleveland Browns.[33] He signed a two-year, $4.137 million contract extension on September 30.[34] He played in relief of an injured Josh McCown in the Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
