QB Shake-up as Browns Deal Frye to Seattle
As was hinted by the return of Ken Dorsey last night, big changes did occur in Cleveland today.
Cleveland Browns management announced, at a press conference this morning, that they had struck a deal with the Seattle Seahawks that would send Week 1 starter Charlie Frye to Seattle in exchange for a future 6th round draft pick.
The move makes Derek Anderson the new starter with Brady Quinn as his backup. Ken Dorsey is now the “emergency” QB. Quinn had always looked to Dorsey as a mentor, so it appears this deal was made as a step towards Quinn becoming the Browns quarterback of the future. General Manager Phil Savage even noted that “[the deal] will give him more reps and continue to improve his development for the day he takes over.”
It will be interesting to see what progress is made when Frye and his new team make the trip to Cleveland on November 4th.

Honestly, I’m glad Frye is gone. Although I do feel sorry for him. He knew he played pretty bad. And at least Brady’s second now, and Dorsey’s his mentor! WHOOP! Hopefully there will be some wins in the future for our fave team!
September 11th, 2007 at 7:21 pmI think they made the right decision. They got away from concentrating on developing Brady into their franchise QB and got too caught up in the Frye/Anderson competition. They needed to make a proactive & decisive decision for the future and they did.
