The Cleveland Browns aren’t ready to move quarterback Josh McCown, at least if coach Hue Jackson is to be believed.

“I have no thoughts, whatsoever,” Jackson said Thursday when asked for his thoughts on the rumors linking McCown to the Dallas Cowboys, via Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk. “You said it, it’s rumor. There is nothing to it as far as we’re concerned. I’ve heard about it, obviously I have, but I feel good that he’s here. He’s a Cleveland Brown and I know nothing else about the other part of it.”

Jackson thinks he would know if McCown were being pushed in trade talks.

“I would hope so,” Jackson said. “I would hope so. I would think I would know exactly what’s going on. I feel very good about where we are and what we’re doing, and right now, there’s nothing to report or talk about.”

McCown is said to be a top trade target for this team desperate for a backup. The Browns may just be playing hardball here, but it’s clear that there’s work to do to get a deal done.

Kellen Moore broken ankle to Nick Foles rumors

The Dallas Cowboys could be in the market for a new backup quarterback after Kellen Moore suffered a broken ankle in practice on Tuesday.

Moore, who saw significant action in three games last season (starting two) for Dallas, was the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Tony Romo. But the former Boise State QB suffered a broken left fibula, team owner Jerry Jones confirmed, putting Dallas down a man at the position already.

The Cowboys drafted Mississippi State product Dak Prescott in the fourth round, but he is unlikely to be ready to serve as a backup QB. And that has people talking Nick Foles.

Foles is available as a free agent since being released by the Rams last week at his request. He has experience in the NFC East as a former starter for the Philadelphia Eagles.

When asked about Foles last week, Jerruh didn’t seem interested.

“Foles isn’t an option,” the Cowboys owner and general manager said. “We wouldn’t get him any snaps. We got four that are going to get the snaps.”

Now with Moore going down, Jones’ feelings on the matter may change. Keep in mind that according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cowboys were one of the teams to discuss a trade for Foles prior to the draft.
