Unsigned Quinn misses 4th day of Browns camp

[GlitzCowboy]

If they won't budge, make a 1 year deal on the Browns' terms. If he shows he's worth the money they will have no problem paying it. Worst thing he could do though is sit out this year and think he's going to go anywhere in the draft next year. Though wouldn't it be irony if we got him again and actually took him...in like say the 2nd or 3rd round. A McFadden/Quinn draft, now that would be a deal to truly make the Browns hate us for eons.

Why is that Quinn is getting all this ink when Russell is ALSO holding out and wanting $26 Million in bonus and guarantees and $60 million dollar overall contract?

Russell is getting some attention as well but the fact is Quinn was a #22 overall selection but wants to be paid as top 10 selection and it appears he will not accept anything remotely close to what #22 selection is suppose to get paid, which is a reason why he is getting more attention than Russell.

Didnt last years top two picks get 26 million in bonuses? it would seem logical that Russell, a year later AND being a QB should command slightly more than that.

BRADY'S IN LINE FOR A "FAIR" DEAL​

Mired in a holdout with the team that traded up to provide a last-minute safety net for his first-round free-fall, Browns quarterback Brady Quinn recently explained his position: "it's a long contract, and I have to make sure it's fair in the event I become the starter."​

We're told that Quinn's agent, Tom Condon, deems "fairness" in this regard to be paying Quinn more guaranteed money and a bigger total package than his draft slot -- No. 22 -- dictates.​

But let's take a broader view of this. The guy drafted in front of Quinn at No. 21, Jags safety Reggie Nelson, received $7.2 million in guaranteed money. So let's say that Quinn's slot will pay him $7 million in guaranteed money.​

So if Quinn, who has never taken an NFL snap, gets $7 million in guaranteed money to become the Browns starting quarterback, is that "fair"?​

Um. YES.​

Jeff Garcia, who has played in a few more NFL games than Quinn, got $3 million in guaranteed money to become the starter in Tampa. Joey Harrington got less than that, and he'll be the de facto starter in Atlanta. Is Joey now *****ing about his deal being "unfair"?​

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo got $2 million in guaranteed money last year, at a time when it was surely clear to him that he could be the starter at some point before the end of the 2007 season. Jon Kitna? He $3.5 million to be the Lions' starter.​

Damon Huard, one of the potential starters in Kansas City, received $2.75 million in guaranteed money on an extension that he signed afterthe 2006 season. And if Huard loses out to Brodie Croyle, Brodie will become the starter despite receiving only $515,000 in guaranteed money, due to his draft slot.​

Quarterbacks selected in round one, but like Quinn after the first 20 picks, who became starters include J.P. Losman, Jason Campbell, and Rex Grossman.
Losman got $4.7 million in guaranteed money. Campbell got $4.9 million. And Grossman, taken in the very same slot as Quinn in 2003, got $4.42 million.
So is it fair for Quinn to get $7 million in guaranteed money and then become the starting quarterback of the Browns? We ask all Browns fans to let us know their thoughts on this.​

And we ask the "real" media to ponder this reality a bit before presuming that this is another case of team management stepping in something brown.​
