The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... The Browns weren't kidding around about shoving Manziel down the depth chart.NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala reported Wednesday that Cleveland launched its offseason workout activities with veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer taking first-team snaps. He was followed -- to our surprise -- by journeyman Tyler Thigpen at the No. 2 spot, before Johnny Football brought up the caboose with a collection of third-stringers.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com notes, the team's under-center pecking order means next to nothing here in late May. In fact, Thigpen makes some sense at No. 2, considering his experience in the Pistol, which we expect coordinator Kyle Shanahan to lean on heavily this season. The Browns, meanwhile, have preached competition from the minute they made Manziel the No. 22 overall pick in this month's draft. New coach Mike Pettine isn't in the mood to designate a rookie as his starting quarterback without first seeing him on the field. And as Profootballtalk.com reminded us this morning, Ryan Tannehill was Miami's No. 3 quarterback in the summer of 2012 -- until he wasn't.
