He did? I read just a little bit ago that he turned down their offer of 3 years and 20 million and will hit the FA market now.

Did he change his mind?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the ticker on NFL is saying he re-signed

Brady Quinn has plenty to do.

Like take HGH and make ridiculous EAS commercials.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson wasn't a free agent for long.

Anderson

Anderson has agreed to a multiyear contract to stay with the Browns, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been completed.

General manager Phil Savage believed if Anderson had gotten an offer from another team, the Browns probably wouldn't have been able to keep him.

The team had been negotiating a three-year, $20 million deal for Anderson.

The 24-year-old signed with Cleveland just hours after he became a restricted free agent.

Wow. That was a quick turn around. Shows that Phil Savage, their GM, was a little more loose with the purse strings than he originally said they would be. Yesturday they were reporting that the dude said if Anderson didn't take the 3 year, 20 million dollar deal, that he likely wouldn't be back cause it would be very hard for them to match any offer another team gave him.

So much for that I guess.

Start looking to shop quinn now.

20 Million 3 year deal, Randy Moss turns down NE offer still free agent.

I wonder if ATL might trade their #1 for Quinn instead of drafting Matt Ryan, or maybe BAL would instead of going after Brohm. Maybe MIN or TB too.

ANDERSON GETS $24 MILLION OVER THREE
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 10:56 a.m.

A league source tells us that the full value of the contract to be $24 million over three years, along with the opportunity to earn more via incentives.

Per the source, the deal has not yet been signed.

The reported guarantee of $14 million is based on bonus money and first-year salary, since as a practical matter Anderson will be paid his full base salary in 2008.

As a practical matter, Anderson is likely to receive the full $24 million, given the short length of the deal. Barring a serious injury — or a previously unknown penchant for dog fighting — Anderson will get his money. And then he’ll get another contract in 2011, either from the Browns or someone else.

I thought I head initially that Anderson wanted Romo money. Talk about a joke.

I think Cleveland will wait at least 1 more season before looking to make a trade with Quinn. Anderson had a very good season but I'm sure the staff in Cleveland wants to see him put together another big season before dealing away Quinn.

Quinn is the Romo of 2007. Great story. I love these guys who come out of nowhere and light the stage on fire.

:laugh2: No doubt.

I really thought Parcells might be the one to pay Anderson if he didn't stay in Cleveland. He had some very high praise for him last year, and of course the player is big.

I would think that if Cleveland could trade Quinn to get back into the 1st round they might just do that.

While I was never a huge Quinn fan, I do think he is better than Ryan.
