"OK, Browns fans, for now take this simply as a rumor with at least some substance behind it, but The Sports Fix was told this morning that the Browns, Chiefs and 49ers were in talks in a 3 way trade which would send Alex Smith to Cleveland, Brandon Weeden to KC, and SF would net a future (not sure what years) 1st from KC, and a 2nd from Cleveland. I was told the deal is in place, and would be announced by next week at the latest if completed.
This came from someone who knows reps involved in the talks, so if nothing else, its at least in play... My guy said "Lombardi is moving fast" and Norv requested Smith as his guy, and KC specifically wants Weeden because he is already a year into the same system they are going to run. Take it for what its worth, but its definitely something to talk about...
(For clarity, we had also heard of a possible Colt McCoy and a future 2nd rd pick to SF straight up for Smith trade as well)"
