The signing of Drew Stanton is one of those quiet moves that should not be quickly dismissed.

In adding Stanton, the Browns added a backup who was 9-4 with Arizona the past four seasons. In 2013, then-Arizona coach Bruce Arians pushed to sign Stanton to a three-year contract. Arians’ intention was to make Stanton the starting quarterback. Though those plans changed when Carson Palmer became available, it did not shake Arians’ belief in Stanton.
