Eagles Expected to Sign Mark Sanchez, but Browns Still Discussing

The Eagles are expected to take another quarterback off the market -- one that the Browns didn't need to get involved with.

Thankfully, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Sanchez will soon be Philadelphia's problem to deal with (likely as a backup):

Did the Browns have a real interest in bringing Sanchez in? I'd like to think that the answer to that is "no," but a couple of reports indicated that the team discussed the possibility. Note that these reports came before Mortensen broke the news about the Eagles:

Lane Adkins of the OBR also noted that the Browns' primary target for a quarterback to bring in remains Rex Grossman, who is the guy I would be in favor of at this point too.
