The Facts: We’re hearing that the new power structure in Cleveland -- the combination of HC Eric Mangini and G.M. George Kokinis -- isn’t sold on Quinn as the starting quarterback. One source with knowledge of the dynamics in Cleveland says that the new power structure there is “lukewarm” on Quinn.
Diehards Line:As a result, PFT's Mike Florio advised readers not to be surprised if the Browns opt to keep Derek Anderson, pay his $5 million roster bonus, and let Anderson and Quinn battle it out for the starting job. Florio went on to point out that neither Mangini nor Kokinis need to justify the decision to draft Quinn or to sign Anderson. The new coach and G.M. can focus on what’s best for the team, regardless of whether the answer is Quinn or Anderson, or neither.
