The Browns were one of the teams looking to snag Chiefs starting quarterback Alex Smith, but fell short as the quarterback wound up Tuesday evening being traded to the Washington Redskins for a 3rd round pick as well as cornerback Kyle Fuller.
ESPN Browns writer Pat McManamon states that Cleveland was in with a second round pick for Smith, but the issue was the large four-year extension that Smith got from the Redskins – worth a reported $94 million.

The Browns did offer one of their second-round draft picks to Kansas City for quarterback Alex Smith, according to a league source.
