Zac Jackson: Browns Not Pursuing Brendan Sorsby Is Malpractice

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Zac Jackson from The Athletic joins the show and lands firmly on the side of the Browns making a bid for Brendan Sorsby, calling it near malpractice to pass on a redshirt quarterback prospect given the team's history of running toward red flags and buying low on talent. Zac pegs a third round pick as the serious offer threshold, with a fourth round bid being the "we're interested but not desperate" move, and flatly dismisses the idea that adding Sorsby would muddy the Watson versus Shedeur Sanders competition since Sorsby would be a pure developmental project with no bearing on this year's starter. On Watson specifically, Zac is blunt, saying spring practice only confirmed what everyone already knew: he's the same inconsistent, inaccurate quarterback he's been and there's no reason for a team focused on the future to play him. Zac also sees a door open for LeBron to return to Cleveland, arguing there's no truly ideal landing spot for him right now and that a mix of role, sentimentality, and winning opportunity could make Cleveland a real option.
