Brady Quinn may finally get his chance to show the NFL what he can do!

When the midnight Free agency deadline came and went, Derek Anderson had not signed on the dotted line. The Browns had offered him a 3-year $20 million ($10 mil guaranteed) deal. Derek must’ve wanted more.

Probably sensing that the talks would stall GM Phil Savage tendered DA a one-year contract offer for $2.5 million in 2008, so if another team signs him, the Browns will be compensated with a 1st and 3rd round picks in the upcoming NFL draft.

For now, the Browns are still in good shape and the club has a lot of faith in Brady. Savage said the following about Brady:

“There’s a comfort level that Brady can walk in, administrate the offense and do even more than that. He does have some mobility, is physically strong and has a good arm. The mental part is going to end up being his greatest strength.”

One would have to assume that Derek’s reluctance to sign was due to interest in other teams. There is still a chance, albeit slim, that he will still be a Brownie next season. I guess we’ll see!
