That will be used as leverage against them. Still, they do have some wiggle room against a team like Cleveland. Cleveland needs AJ or Garropolo. I guess there are other QB's that may hit the market (Cousins?), but with what Cleveland is trying to do in rebuilding, I don't see how they don't go after either of these two back ups. They will leverage what they can against either team and we all know Belechick is as savvy as they come and he will definitely consider a second for JG. It's gonna be interesting. But I'm guessing Hugh prefers AJ.
Cleveland is not trying to win now, otherwise they wouldn't have let every half way decent FA leave. Their roster is in shambles and no QB is fixing that. I think they stick with Kessler another year and try and build the roster around him. They then will evaluate where they are at and what Kessler brings and make a call in the next draft. AJ McCaron will be 27 when next season opens, you aren't trading for a 27 year old unproven guy to sit a couple years while you build a roster.
