      After basically sitting on the sideline through the first three weeks of free agency, the Browns finally made a splash on Thursday by adding Robert Griffin III.

      RG3 signed a two-year, $15 million deal that included $6.75 million in guaranteed money.

      Although it was a big signing, the move left a lot of Browns fans with conflicting feelings, and that's mainly because they're not sure what RG3's role is going to be in Cleveland. Will he be a starter, or a backup?

      Some Browns fans hated the move:

      While other fans loved the move:

      So what exactly will RG3's role in Cleveland be?

      According to NFL.com's Jeff Darlington, the Browns fully expect Griffin to be the Week 1 starter in 2016.

      "The team is bringing [RG3] in with the anticipation that he's going to start," Darlington told Cleveland's 92.3 The Fan, a CBS Sports Radio station. "I think that Hue Jackson is far more impressed with Griffin than many of us realize right now."

      If Griffin's going to start, that raises one obvious question: What will the Browns do with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft?

      That question probably has Browns fans a little nervous. If the Browns stick to their plans and draft a quarterback, such as Carson Wentz or Jared Goff, that could create a delicate situation in Cleveland.

      If RG3's named the starter and immediately struggles, most fans will probably start clamoring for the rookie, whether that's Goff or Wentz. On the other hand, if the rookie quarterback were to start and struggle, fans might starting clamoring for Griffin, which could upset your newly drafted rookie.

      It's a situation that's almost set up for disaster, and no one knows disaster at the quarterback position like the Browns.

      That being said, Griffin is already saying the right things. The former Redskins quarterback made it clear during his conference call on Thursday that he'd be willing to help a rookie quarterback get acclimated to the NFL.

      "If they draft a quarterback, (I'll) take the guy under my wing," Griffin said, via NFL.com.

      Although you have to think Griffin wouldn't be too happy in that situation, since that's basically what happened to him in Washington. RG3 was overtaken for the starting job by Kirk Cousins, who was drafted the same year as Griffin.

      RG3 seemed a little sensitive about the issue on Thursday and said he wouldn't "focus" on helping a young guy.

      "I'm considered a vet now after four years in the league and I've been through a lot more than a lot of guys go through in their entire career," RG3 said. "I've got a lot of experience. I can help a young guy, but it's not my focus. I don't pick the players."

      RG3 also added that he has complete faith in coach Hue Jackson and executive vice president Sashi Brown.

      "Sashi and Hue and all those guys will take care of that stuff, but if they draft a quarterback, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm just ready to compete," Griffin said.

      Although the Browns seem likely to draft a quarterback, it wouldn't be a complete shock if they don't, and that's because they now have Mr. Moneyball in their front office.

      The Browns hired Chief Strategy Officer Paul DePodesta in January, a guy who earned a lot of money as an MLB executive, where he used Moneyball tactics.

      If DePodesta has any say in the team's draft strategy, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Browns trade out of the second spot and try to get more picks. That would be the value play.

      In the NFL, draft picks are like gold, and a guy who specializes in Moneyball will want to get as many picks as possible. Draft picks are cheap and can pay off immensely if you have enough of them. They give you the ability to go after any player in any round because you have the ammo to make a trade.

      If the Browns do make a first-round trade, CBSSports.com's Will Brinson took a look at what that trade might look like.

      Anyway, now that RG3's on the roster, that makes the Browns a complete wild card in this year's draft, because they don't have to take a quarterback, even if that's what they're still likely to do.

      Will RG3 be the Browns Week 1 starter? (USATSI/CBSSports.com) Will RG3 be the Browns Week 1 starter? (USATSI/CBSSports.com)

      If he can regain his rookie form but that looks to be highly doubtful. RG3 has bust written all over him. He cant throw from the pocket and he cant run like he did.
      From what I heard, he really wanted to go to Denver, but they didnt think he was worth the risk. The shitty thing is now that douchebag kaepernick might be the next bronco qb. I cant friggin stand kaepernick

      No doubt. Kaepernick and his hat sideways and headphoes around his neck acting like a jerk in post game interviews is NOT who anyone should have as the face of the franchise. Only way I will tolerate Kaepernick is if he ditches that get up for a suit and tie and acts like a professional for once in his life. Unfortunately, he is too immature to understand that. Besides that, his game has gone to shit.

      So if the Browns take a QB in the draft, RG3 will be temporary.
      I like the Browns, probably because I feel sorry for those fans. Must be brutal.

      well since they let a bunch of their awesome guys including lineman go in free agency, i dont think any qb will last long and they damn sure better draft some good lineman that can go straight to starting or the are going to lose every game or at least not even go 500. they make some of the stupidest choices of any team and their performance shows

      I don't see Rg3 and the word splash in the same sentence...splash is all he was his rookie year hut defenses have figured that game out. He's not a pocket passer and can't stay healthy. Browns took a flier on him and nothing wrong with that. From what I've heard from friends is he's a locker room killer so hopefully he's humbled a little and doesn't have those issues again.

      not just qb cursed but franchise cursed. when the first browns changed to the ravens they went to the super bowl. then the new browns became the same browns. i attribute it to, to much of the owners meddling in football operations and player selections. then they dont leave coaching or admin staff in place for no amount of time to build. so in a nut shell, they suck across the board and the prognosis isnt looking to good for the future. same thing pretty much goes for dallas as well
