Cleveland Browns QB Derek Anderson wasn’t a free agent for long. After turning down a three-year, $20 million deal from the Browns before the free agency signing period began this morning, Derek agreed to a multi-year deal with the team today. Why he waited a couple of hours beyond the deadline is beyond me. Apparently, there was some interest from another team(s) in order for him to turn the deal down in the first place, but he did a quick about-face and stayed with the Browns. Cleveland has Brady Quinn waiting in the wings so either way, Cleveland was covered. Had Derek signed with another team, the Browns would have had a week to match that offer, but GM Phil Savage indicated the team likely would have let Derek go and receive first- and third-round picks in April’s Draft as compensation. As it stands, Cleveland has two quality QBs heading into the 2008 season. But who starts?
