Browns Committed to Colt McCoy


First year Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur is committed to quarterback Colt McCoy being "The Man" going forward, Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.

Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert confirmed McCoy's status as the team's top quarterback during a Friday afternoon meeting with Cleveland-area reporters in Indianapolis.

"I thoroughly evaluated Colt last year when I was with the (St. Louis) Rams and I'm excited about having him as our quarterback," Shurmur said. "I don't have any questions about arm strength or anything. I have a strong feeling for the guy."

McCoy, a 2010 third-round pick out of Texas, started eight games as a rookie, completing 135-of-222 pass attempts for 1,576 yards with six touchdowns and 9 interceptions.

According to Heckert, the Browns are interested in bringing free agent quarterback Seneca Wallace back for next season. They're also open to having veteran Jake Delhomme back, provided he restructures a contract that includes a $5.4 million base salary in 2011.
