The Cleveland Browns just can't find a quarterback.

The Browns tried to trade for Alex Smith prior to the Kansas City Chiefs reportedly agreeing to send the veteran signal-caller to the Washington Redskins, a league source told Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com.

Six teams - likely including the Browns - showed interest in acquiring Smith, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Browns own the No. 1 overall pick and over $100 million in cap space, so they have the ammunition to make some serious noise in the quarterback market this offseason to finally fill their void under center - it just won't be Smith.
