The Browns new head coach Eric Mangini, is still evaluating his roster and that includes the quarterback position. Derek Anderson is a former Pro Bowl quarterback and Brady Quinn is a high profile, former first round pick and hometown hero, but both quarterbacks were inherited by Mangini and new GM Kokinis so they hold affiliations to either signal caller.
"I don't have a projected starter at this point," Mangini said Tuesday at the NFL meetings.
Anderson received a big contract after his breakthrough '07 season, a three-year, $24 million deal with a $5 million bonus he collected this month. But he struggled before being replaced by Quinn for the ninth game.
Quinn, who has a five-year, $20.2 million contract, lasted just three games before breaking a finger on his right hand and needing surgery.
That is a lot of money tied up in two players at the quarterback position, so the Browns may consider shopping, one of the two high priced players. It has been speculated that both are on the trade block.
A wiser option would be to send one of the QB's and some draft choices to the Broncos in exchange for the disgruntled Jay Cutler. Who is also on the trade block and wants out of Denver after finding out the he was almost apart of a 3-way trade for Matt Cassel.
"George and I are looking at any opportunity to improve the team," Mangini said of general manager George Kokinis. "But I'm in no way saying that is specific to the quarterback situation. We'd look at any opportunities to improve the team, but not specific to the QB situation. Any opportunity that came up, we'd look at it."
