Quinn exit may be near as Delhomme lands with Browns
Football Betting Lines
03/13/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Browns have reportedly signed quarterback Jake Delhomme, lending credibility to the rumors that Brady Quinn will soon be dealt.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Saturday that Delhomme signed a two-year deal with the Browns, who also recently traded for Seahawks backup quarterback Seneca Wallace and released former Pro Bowl signal-caller Derek Anderson.
Delhomme was recently released by the Carolina Panthers, who signed the QB to a five-year, $42.5 million contract extension prior to last season.
However, the seven-year starter suffered through a horrendous 2009 campaign that saw his season cut short by a broken finger after 11 games, as Matt Moore emerged as Carolina's quarterback of the future.
Delhomme finished the year with a career-high 18 interceptions to just eight touchdowns. He had 2,015 passing yards while his quarterback rating was a woeful 59.4, leading to Carolina releasing him last week.
The 35-year-old led the Panthers to the Super Bowl following the 2003 season and had been the team's starter since that time. In 97 career games, he has thrown for 123 touchdowns, 94 interceptions and 19,892 yards.
The Browns, who traded for the No. 22 overall pick in the 2007 draft to nab Quinn, now have a decision to make at quarterback. The Notre Dame product appeared in 10 games last season to mediocre results, as he finished with 1,139 yards with eight TDs and seven picks.
