Hot on the heels of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith—who is likely on the trade block this offseason—praising current Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has confirmed there will indeed be a quarterback competition in Cleveland this year.

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer spoke with Haslam, who said that despite Turner and head coach Rob Chudzinski liking much of what they saw out of Brandon Weeden in reviewing his 2012 season, says that a competition for the starting job is coming. It also appears that Weeden's competition will come out of the free agency pool, though Haslam also didn't rule out potentially going to the draft again, either.
