The Browns have traded away another quarterback, sending Kevin Hogan and a sixth-round pick (No. 205 overall)to the Redskins for a sixth-round pick (No. 188 overall), with both teams announcing the deal. The Browns had acquired the sixth-round pick used in the deal from the Patriots in exchange for Jason McCourty
Hogan, 25, is the third quarterback to be traded from the Browns this offseason. They also sent Cody Kessler to the Jaguars and DeShone Kizer to the Packers. They received a conditional seventh-round pick for Kessler and cornerback Damarious Randall in exchange for Kizer.
The Browns also added Tyrod Taylor, who coach Hue Jackson said will enter the season as the starter, and long-time backup quarterback Drew Stanton. They’re set to take a quarterback with either the first or fourth overall picks of the upcoming draft as well.
Hogan joins a Redskins quarterback contingent that includes Colt McCoy and Stephen Morris behind newly-acquired Alex Smith. The Stanford alum had received permission from the Browns on Thursday to allow his agent to seek out a trade with another team.
The Chiefs drafted Hogan in the fifth round of the 2016 draft and he was cut prior to the regular season. He signed with the Browns shortly after and has appeared in eight games, including a start, over the last two seasons in Cleveland. The start came last year and it came in a losing effort to the Texans in Week 6.
It’s only a matter of time until the billboards on Cleveland’s interstates read: WILL TRADE QBs FOR FOOD.

Wins the interwebs, lol
That’s funny
Good move! Can’t believe they actually got something for that stiff.
I think it would be a mistake if the Browns don’t use one of those first round picks on Barkley.
I agree but they really can’t afford to give that much money to the RB position with the Hyde signing. Maybe they can though ♂️
It just shows how bad this franchise is run y wouldn’t you keep one of these QBs to be your next star
I’m TT is one over rated qb and they will see that this yr I feel bad for the Browns fans
I personally think this is a good deal here. Moving up 17 spots in the 6th is more than I thought they could get for Hogan.
They brought in 2 vets,and they’re getting a rookie to develop behind them for a year in the draft, so Hogan didn’t have much of a chance to stick around.
Maybe but one of those other may be something but they just through in the towel like they do with a lot of there young players
You can go ahead and believe Hogan is a viable QB. Nobody in football does.
I think Taylor is underrated. Other than Shady he’s been working with decent but not transcendent talent. Yet he’s had his team around the WC convo each year before finally getting in last year. He won’t win you many games with his arm, but he can move the sticks with his legs and hardly ever turns the ball over. And with the whole Peterman situation last year, he’s obviously a professional
Good luck Hogan.. I’m glad all the QBs are far away from Hue Jackson.
So are they! You could give coach ego a Brett favre like QB in his prime and he couldn’t develop them
Hulk is a better QB than Kevin.
IMO
