The Facts:
On the eve of the free agency negotiating period, the pool of QBs available to the Browns dwindled by two. Backup Matt Moore re-signed with the Miami Dolphins for two years and restricted backup Brian Hoyer received the second-round tender from the Arizona Cardinals, according to CBS Sports, meaning the Browns are out of the potential mix. One NFL source said he expects the Browns to try to trade for New England Patriots backup Mallett. Another said coach Patriots Bill Belichick won't part with him.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:

According to Plain Dealer beat writer Mary Kay Cabot, Moore and Hoyer were believed to be two of the many veterans the Browns studied as possible competition for Brandon Weeden. Others still expected to become available are the New Orleans Saints' Chase Daniel, the Panthers' Derek Anderson and former Eagle Vince Young. ... Overall, not an especially promising group. Which is good news for Weeden. Or maybe Colt McCoy. Not so much for the Browns, however. ... Stay tuned.
