Browns Great $95 Million Star QB Player Chosen 49ers Over Browns On The Ground Of…

Being a backup NFL quarterback seems like a sweet deal to a lot of folks.

Cleveland Browns fans might look at what Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley earn holding clipboards on the sideline.

Another Browns fan favorite once took part in a NASA internship program while “playing for” the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That quarterback was Josh Dobbs, who discussed a less enticing aspect of his life in the NFL with Adam Schefter.

Dobbs played in five different cities over the past two seasons, including a pair of stops in Cleveland.

Schefter asked the former Steeler, Brown, Lion, Titan, Jaguar, Cardinal, and Viking how he managed the moves.

The well-traveled passer started with his luckiest break of the past two years.

Cleveland signed Dobbs as a backup to Jacoby Brissett to start the 2022 season.

When Deshaun Watson returned from suspension, Dobbs was let go and Detroit added him to their practice squad.

Tennessee subsequently signed him off that squad and Dobbs started a couple of games late in the season.

His lucky break was that the Browns signed the 2023 free agent back on as Watson’s backup.

All of Dobbs’ things were still stored in Cleveland and he moved back into the same apartment he left in 2022.

Andrew Berry threw a curveball, trading Dobbs to Arizona who then traded him to Minnesota the day after he found a new place.

Dobbs spoke about the uncertainty and difficulties of being traded in his typically upbeat and happy tone.

He left little doubt, however, that he hopes his newest team lets him stay in San Francisco for a while.

Former NFL Player Lauds ‘Great Signing’ For The Browns

The Cleveland Browns continue to add to their roster ahead of this month’s NFL Draft.

Cleveland has made additions to both sides of the ball and has also been careful not to neglect special teams.

On Tuesday, the team announced that it has signed free-agent special teams ace Justin Hardee.

Hardee most recently played for the New York Jets.

Former NFL player Andrew Hawkins shared on his Twitter account that Hardee is a “great signing” for the Browns.

Hawkins added: “You may find people who are AS Cleveland as Justin Hardee… but you won’t find a soul who is MORE Cleveland.”

Local reporter Camryn Justice also posted that Hardee told his former Jets teammate, Joe Flacco, to “bring my city a ‘ship” after the Browns beat the Jets in 2023 to claim a playoff berth.

Hardee was born in Cleveland and attended Glenville High School.

After making a splash as a Tarblooder, Hardee took a scholarship offer from the University of Illinois.

He played receiver for the Illini from 2012-2016 and caught 72 total passes for 841 yards and one touchdown.

Hardee went undrafted in 2017 but signed as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans.

When the Texans released him before the 2017 season, Hardee was claimed by the New Orleans Saints.

Then, in 2021, Hardee moved to the Big Apple where he played with Flacco and the Jets for three seasons.

In addition to special teams, Hardee has played on the defensive side of the ball as a corner.
