The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... On the eve of organized team activities, when Weeden and Colt McCoy will practice with the full squad together for the first time, GM Tom Heckert clarified the nature of the competition. "You can write about it and talk about it however you want. The best guy is going to play and we fully expect Brandon to be that guy,' Heckert said. "That's our goal is to have him be the guy."

Heckert has said
the same before -- but the team has made it clear there will be a competition since then. Heckert, however, made it no secret of his belief who the winner of that competition will be. "I think when we say, open competition, the best guy's going to play, that's just the way it is. But we drafted Brandon Weeden to be that guy. (You) draft a guy 22nd in the draft, you think he's going to be that guy. ..." Heckert also said nothing should be read into who takes the first snaps in OTAs Tuesday: "We're going to be rotating the guys all over the place. Whatever you see out there, take it for what it's worth. We've got a long way to go.' In other words, it might take the Browns a while to officially announce what we already know. Weeden is it.
