With a quarterback situation that seems to get more and more ridiculous by the week, the Browns had to make another move.

According to Jeff Dickerson of ESPNChicago.com, the Browns signed Caleb Hanie to fill out the depth chart. The former Bears and Broncos backup has been out of the league since he was cut by the Ravens this summer.

Hanie worked out for the Browns a week ago, before they went with trick-shot artist Alex Tanney.

Those two could end up competing for playing time, not just a roster spot, this week. While Jason Campbell has been cleared for exercise after his concussion a week ago, he hasn’t been cleared for practice yet. And with Brandon Weeden concussed as well, the Browns are scrambling at quarterback.

Again.
