Romeo Crennel declared Brady Quinn Cleveland's starter for 2009 in December, which is sorta like George Bush choosing the next Supreme Court justice. Now that Eric Mangini has taken over, the Browns are back to square one at quarterback. For now, Mangini is saying he will evaluate Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn and go from there. There is nothing else he can really say on day one. Bang the link above for a pic of Mangini's wife, another victim of the incestuous Parcells/Pioli/Shapiro/Mangini love square.

By March, Mangini and the incoming Browns GM must decide what to do with Derek Anderson's $5 million roster bonus. My gut says they will try to re-negotiate it (unlikely Anderson will go for that) or they will place their faith in Brady Quinn. Anderson is due a total of $6.45 million in 2009, and his 2008 play was proof that he isn't worth that much. A trade of Anderson is also possible in the meantime, although his market value is far lower than it was a year ago.

Update: Lombardi "knows" that Derek Anderson will get dealt or cut. He also thinks Kellen Winslow will get dealt. So there you go.
