The Facts:
As expected, Weeden opened the first practice of the year as the first-team quarterback in Cleveland. “Brandon got the reps with the ones today,” HC Rob Chudzinski told the media after the team’s first mini-camp practice of the offseason.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Eventually, Weeden and Jason Campbell are expected to compete for the starting job. But the competition hasn't started yet. “We are taking a look at it," Chudzinski said. "It’s early in the process, just seeing what guys are taking from the meeting room out to the field. We will work through that process. Campbell will get some reps with the ones as well along the way. But this is a long, long process that we are going to have and there is a long time between now and our opener. We’ve got plenty of time and this is just the first step. ...” But those who cover the team on a daily basis
seem to believe Weeden will get at least one more season to prove himself as the starter. We'll be surprised if that's not the ultimate outcome. We also realize none of you will be looking to draft Cleveland's QB -- no matter who it is. But the starter is of some interest to those hoping wideouts Josh Gordon and Greg Little can maximize their potential.
