Browns Release Former Pro Bowl QB Anderson
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4979700
The Cleveland Browns released former Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson, the team announced Tuesday. The move comes just one day after the team acquired Seneca Wallace in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. New team president Mike Holmgren said it would be a "long shot" that both Anderson and Brady Quinn would be on the roster. A major reason for choosing Quinn was Anderson's contract required a $2 million roster bonus this month and a $7.45 million salary in 2010. "I want to thank Derek for everything that he gave to the Cleveland Browns organization over the last five years," Browns coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. "He did everything we asked of him and it was a pleasure to coach such a competitive person. I want to wish him all the best in the future." Anderson had his best season with the Browns in 2007, when he threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns and led the team to 10 victories. He received a three-year extension with Cleveland but never lived up to expectations after that point. Cleveland remains unsure of its starting quarterback for next season. The team has been very active in searching for potential trades and will likely continue to do so. ----------------------------------------------- Does this make way for Cleveland to trade up to KC's #5 spot and take Clausen? |

Right, something along those lines. Cassel is still on board like it, or not. I can't believe the boat ever gets rocked to the point of taking a QB at 5. My take is that Berry isn't some savior either. Quinn has at least been in the NFL to provide some competition versus some risky late round dude.

I would probably do that Dane trade if we were assured Seattle or whoever picks at #6 doesn't take Berry and Berry is still there...

I don't think that the Chiefs covet Berry. I think they'll go line, whether it's defense or offense. |

Cleveland really screwed up. They should have traded Andersen when they had the chance. I remember saying it back then. Trade him now while his value is high and give Quinn a chance to start. Andersens value will never be higher. Now look. They released him and get nothing.

Your ****ing joking right? Or did you mean to say Quinn has far more upside?

I dont want Quinn, but for a third, he is a good fallback option for when Cassel fails or gets hurt by midseason and should be a good long term #2 qb after we release/trade MC after the season and we draft Jake Locker in the first.

Agreed.
Cassel would be a fine backup. Seriously. |
