    UPDATED: Anderson signs multiyear deal with Browns

    The Cleveland Browns are poised to launch Plan B at quarterback.
    B, for Brady, that is.
    The club was unable to sign starter Derek Anderson to a three-year, $20 million contract - $10 million guaranteed - before Friday's 12:01 a.m. free agency deadline and are prepared to turn their high-powered offense over to Brady Quinn, a first-round pick from last year and fan favorite.

    Re: Derek Anderson a free agent, Quinn to be Browns' QB

    Big gamble by Anderson, I'm not sure there are too many teams out there who would be willing to top that offer.

      It's a big gamble on Andersons part, betting that teams are always looking for QB's with starting experience. I found it hard to believe the Browns were going to give him a long term deal, with Quinn and his big contract already there. This is what Cleveland wanted all along. Brees/Rivers all over again.

            He's still restricted, and Cleveland can match any offer.

            Somebody's going to have to pony up a first and a third to get him, and I'm not so sure Parcells is that high on QB's to do it.

              I heard Miami was interested in Billy Volek.

                I heard that too. Now that I see we would have to give a 1x=st and 3rd for Anderson....screw that.

                  The only thing I really heard about that, was a Adam Schefter thinking he'd be a good fit in Miami, not really saying that Miami is interested.

                  I wouldn't mind Volek, myself, but it seems like the 1st QB FA that Miami is bringing in for a visit Friday is McNown from Da Raidaz.

                    Yeah, they are bringing McCown (not McNown) and Calvin Pace in. Interesting to see if they sign Pace considering they already have Joey Porter. Could it spell the end of Joey?

                    According to Alex Marvez, Miami is going to offer Pace a contract along the lines of what Adalius Thomas and Joey Porter received last year (5 Yrs/$30M+, $20M guaranteed).

                    BTW, the reason people link Volek is because Parcells reportedly likes him. However, you are right it is just speculation.

                      I'm working with my morning brain so far...I wonder if they would move Porter to the other side. It seems like he wasn't being used in the same way as he was used in Pitt, so if I'm wondering they would do something like that if they bring in Pace. I don't know all of Pace's details to be completely honest, but what I've been reading recently, I've been liking.

                        Wow. Now Anderson does a 180 and signs with the Browns.

                          They gave DA a little more money to stay, both in overall contract and guaranteed money.

                          I've seen 3 years 24 mill with 12 guaranteed as opposed to the original 3 year 20 mil and 10 guaranteed.

                              Quinn's base salary isn't very high...I believe it's 2 million.

                              His contract for it to make him money is predicated on him making incentives. Obviously while he sits his overrated ass on the sideline he'll never make those incentives.
