CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Hey, Mary Kay!

Hey, Mary Kay: Why wouldn't the Browns just keep Brock Osweiler for the $16 million vs. just cutting him? If they have to pay him either way, why not keep him. Potentially trading him later in the season? -- Joseph Ladd Vegas, Walworth, New York

Hey, Joseph: By the end of the fourth preseason game, the Browns determined that they'd rather have Kevin Hogan on their roster and keep him around as a developmental player than Osweiler. Osweiler made it clear when he lost the starting job that he felt his best football was ahead of him, and he wanted a chance to play this season.
