Perhaps no player in Browns history is more loved than Bernie Kosar. A
native of northeast Ohio, Bernie publically announced his desire to play
for "his" team, the Cleveland Browns. Kosar signed with the Browns on
July 2, 1985, becoming the youngest QB in team history. (His rights obtained
from Buffalo for 2 No 1 picks (85, 86), a 3rd (85), and 6th (86).
Second in most career passing marks behind Brian Sipe. His unceremonious
release during the 1993 season raised national furor. Signed by Dallas,
Bernie was a key element in the Cowboys superbowl winning season by replacing
an injured Troy Aikman. Spent 94 and 95 seasons with the Dolphins as a
backup to Dan Marino.
