BEREA, Ohio - The Browns will bring in free agent quarterback Caleb Hanie as a possible backup to Brandon Weeden while Jason Campbell recovers from his concussion, a league source told cleveland.com.

It's not yet been determined if the Browns will sign him.

Hanie, 28, backed up Jay Cutler for four seasons and sat behind Peyton Manning in Denver last season.

He was signed by the Ravens in April, but he was cut in August and has been out of football ever since.

Hanie, originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Bears in 2008 out of Colorado State, started four games for the Bears in place of an injured Cutler in 2011, going 0-4. In 11 career games, he's thrown three TD passes and 10 interceptions.

The 6-2, 233 Hanie is a candidate to backup Weeden, who's expected to start Sunday against Jacksonville while Campbell recovers from his concussion.

Campbell suffered the concussion during Sunday's 27-11 loss to the Steelers and is going through the NFL's concussion protocol.

Coach Rob Chudzinski said the team will likely sign a QB before the Jaguars game.
