Twitter (Adam Caplan) - Browns quarterback Derek Anderson could be released by the team before March 19.

Adam Caplan wrote on his Twitter page Monday that Anderson's $2 million roster bonus is due on March 19.

"The clock starts ticking for players who have roster or option bonuses coming up. Derek Anderson's $2 M RB is due on 3/19, source said," he wrote.

Nothing earth shattering here...we just saw stallworth released. He had 1 mil due 3-1...it was easy to make that decision now and allow him to start seeking his other options.

Anderson won't be as simple as we will:

A...try to get him in to a friendlier deal, or B...try to find some sort of trade, which probably couldn't happen until "A" happens.

I guess there is a "C"....that would be trade Quinn before we have to make a decision on Anderson.

You don't like it, too bad. And what's with the name calling? After reading many of your post's thought you were better than that.

So basically the tweet says "If DA is going to be cut, the most likely time for it to happen is before his roster bonus kicks in. We don't really knoww if he'll be cut but if it were to happen, it would be before he gets his 2 million"

This should be nominated for the most insignificant thread of the year.

I am going to party like a mfer when this guy is finally gone.

Yes it will be 'Peen. Anderson will undoubtedly be released. RE "A" he'll be offered vet minimum. "B" you may disagree, but DA's trade value is zero.

"C" Never say never, but it's 10X more likely Quinn is on the training camp roster than Anderson.

But in the best interests of the team, one or the other HAS to be gone & Holmgren's smart enough to realize that.

I fully expected DA to be sent packing well before the march 19th roster bonus ,he just isnt worth what he is paid...

Sorry about that. What I should have said was " most insignificant browns related tweet of the year". You did what you should have, I'm just not sure what the "tweeter" was reporting that's all.

and Quinn...March 20....

They are both toast.......

Sounds like this whole QB controversy will come to an end. Phil Savage created a monster with the contract he gave DA and then not being able to trade him.

i just ruined these pants at the thought of that.

I don't know. If the Roster bonus is ONLY 2 million dollars, (Yea, more $ than any of us have, but still peanuts in the NFL Monopoly money game) and if they at all would expect DA to compete even for a backup slot, the 2 mill doesn't seem to be a lot in the scheme of things for a "potential" decent backup QB. DA was the QB for a couple of games they won at the end of the season, wasn't he?

Is this Mike Holmgren posturing for a trade. JK. That is actually a good point, I was thinking the same thing.

Oh, i know releasing him the the probable move....I am just saying it isn't as easy as the move to release stallworth. There are still some variable at play that the team will probably try to explore up to the end.

daydog...it was more a board joke then namecalling....sorry you took it as such.

[Drunkandstoopid]

This all relies on what Holmgren and Mangini think. If they want DA on the roster in some respect, the 2 mil might not bother them, more likely you'll see a new contract dropping this years price tag with more for DA IF they decide to keep him after that.

Most of the people here can't keep in mind that this team is essentially building from the ground up. I didn't expect them to win their last 4 games, but I expected better play the last quarter of the season than any time of the season. QB was the last of their worries this season, and may be the last of their worries next season... Holmgren even said so a week or so ago, the QB's gonna look bad if the line can't block and the receivers can't catch.... He pretty much described the Browns' QB situation the last year or two.

I still think he keeps one QB, probably DA.

And to go along those lines....if some deal could be worked out, DA is more attractive to a team if they don't have to pay the bonus.

A bonus paid DA and a pick might be enough to get Kolb or some other QB, or some other deal.

That is why i said i think there are variables at play that don't make it as easy as simply releasing DA today.

Why hold him now if you know he's worthless, sucks, and everything else??
