The Cleveland Browns finally have a quarterback and he goes by the name of Robert Griffin III. Griffin reportedly agreed to a two-year deal meaning Colin Kaepernick will have to see if other teams would still be interested in hooking him up.

Kaepernick was widely believed to be on the wish list of the Browns early on but with RG3 on board, all that is now irrelevant.

Griffin agreed to a two-year pact worth $15 million with $6.75 million of it guaranteed. And while the quarterback search is now technically over, the next question is on whether RG3 will be starting or a backup.

The question has popped up in light of the impending NFL Draft where the Browns own the no. 2 overall pick. Does this mean that they Browns will opt for someone in a different position?

What Lies Ahead for Carson Wentz or Jared Goff?

The Browns are widely believed to be going after two of the best quarterbacks in the draft – Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.

Tying this up with the Griffin deal, the Browns may be giving RG3 the chance to strut his wares in the early goings and see if he can steer the club as a starter.

Hue Jackson will be banking on RG3 as the Week 1 starter for 2016 but if he flounders, the responsibility of quarterbacking could be passed on to either Wentz or Goff, depending on who the Cleveland picks.

Mentor-Rookie Relationship

Either way, it is a mixture of experience and new blood which could work both ways. But in the end, the Browns are expected to stick it out with the player that shines.

As far as Griffin is concerned, such should not be an issue. He is ready to answer the call and also mentor the potential rookie quarterback that the Browns would select from the NFL Draft.

"If they draft a quarterback, (I'll) take the guy under my wing," said Griffin.

Déjà Vu for RG3?

Though Griffin’s statements seem mature, many are adamant of how things may turn up in the event that such a scenario happens.

When he was still with the Washington Red Skins, Griffin lost his spot to Kirk Cousins who was drafted in the same year he was. And with the scenario seemingly building up as well, Griffin clarified that while he is open to teaching the new recruit, that is not his priority.

"I've got a lot of experience. I can help a young guy, but it's not my focus. I don't pick the players."

Either way, the rookie pick and Griffin are technically in the same vote as far as the starting role is concerned. Griffin has shown what he can do while the frosh will have to work their way on the NFL level.

Rather than treat it as a challenge, RG3 will want to prove his worth. Either that or his stint as a Cleveland Brown could be short-lived.
