JACKSONVILLE, FL – AUGUST 20: Mike Glennon /

2. Mike Glennon

While the Browns struggled at the quarterback position on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a coming out party of sorts for their franchise quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston looked fantastic against the Atlanta Falcons in victory during Week 1.

With Winston as the future in Tampa Bay, might it be time to sell high on his strong backup Mike Glennon? Glennon has started for the Buccaneers in 2013 and 2014 before giving way to Winston in 2015.

Having a quarterback that passes with precision is exactly what the Browns should be looking for in a replacement for Griffin. Glennon is nowhere near as mobile as Griffin, but this is a good thing for the Browns should they inquire with Tampa Bay about him in a trade.

Entering 2016, Glennon was viewed by many in the league as a top-five backup in the game today. He’s good enough to start under center for a terrible team. His skill set and Cleveland’s demand for yet another quarterback could make this an interesting temporary solution for the Browns.
