Thread: Anderson and Browns at a standstill

http://beta.profootballtalk.com/2008/02/07/browns-anderson-at-a-standstill/

James Walker of the Columbus Dispatch reports that contract negotiations between the Cleveland Browns and quarterback Derek Anderson “have reached a standstill.”

Walker also reports that the three-year offer made by the Browns last month had a total value of $16 million, including $11 million in guaranteed money.
Anderson’s people rejected the offer, and are seeking a deal of at least five years in duration.


...

With their new poster boy in town it's hard to imagine them offering a 5 year deal worth anything substantial.

I can't see the browns keeping him because of brady quinn when will he get playing time

He's still under contract though.

Our guess?
The Browns will be happy to keep him for another year at $2.5 million, or to trade him for a first-round pick.
If he goes, 2007 first-rounder Brady Quinn would take over at quarterback.

I can still get my hopes up if I want to.
Of course this is all posturing on both parties parts and he will stay a Brown for at least another year.

They will be able to see what Brady does this year in Training Camp/OTA's and then make a decision for the 2009 season.

Actually, I believe this thread belongs here;
