The Cleveland Browns are a "serious possibility" to sign Matt Schaub.

Schaub, who played well for Kyle Shanahan when they were with the Houston Texans together, would compete for the starting quarterback job with Brian Hoyer.

The Texans might release Schaub since he doesn't figure in their long-term plans and is due to make $10 million in 2014.

The Oakland Raiders and New York Jets are also believed to be interested in Schaub should he become a free agent.
