ongoing story. ... Browns president Mike Holmgren stressed Tuesday that although the team expects Weeden to start this season, he'll still have to beat out Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace for the job.

Holmgren also said the staff will let the backup competition, presumably between McCoy and Wallace, evolve. "I think we have to let that one play out," he said. "I'd agree with the comment that you don't see it too often, but you have seen it. When we look at the roster, we're going to do what we feel is best for the team at the particular time, and right now, they're all here and they're competing like crazy, so that's what I want. ..." For what it's worth, Holmgren also acknowledged that the Browns had targeted Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright at No. 22, but shifted to Weeden when Wright went No. 20 to Tennessee.
