Now that CEO Joe Banner and general manager Michael Lombardi have been shoved out the door, the next to leave the Cleveland Browns might be 2013 opening day quarterback Brandon Weeden.

Two sources close to Weeden have told NFL Media columnist Michael Silver that the 2012 first-round draft pick is ready for a change of scenery.

"Given the turmoil with the coaching staff and lack of public support from the most recent front office, he's interested in a fresh start with a clean slate and an opportunity to compete to show he has the talent to develop into a productive player in the league," Silver reported Tuesday on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access."

It's debatable whether Weeden would have developed into a solid NFL starter had the coaching staff and front office that drafted him remained in place.

Now on his third head coach, offensive coordinator and general manager in less than two calendar years, though, it's understandable that Weeden would reach the conclusion that his best chance at NFL success lies in a different locale.

Silver suggested the Cardinals, Texans andBuccaneers as potential landing spots for Weeden.

The 2013 game film shows a 30-year-old quarterback still struggling with pocket movement, field vision, decision making, touch and ball placement.

Assuming the Browns are amendable to trading Weeden, they will have a hard time finding a suitor willing to part with a late-round draft pick for him.

Any team that drafts a 28 year old to be there starter right away has problems. His window is small, but doesnt mean he needs a year or two to adjust.

Even if Weeden stays with the Browns, I think it's fairly obvious he isn't the solution so Cleveland will be seeking another. Brian Hoyer showed 10 times the potential until he got injured. Hoyer could prove to be solid if he got the chance but the Browns fan base is probably only going to accept the decision to draft a QB early.
