Cleveland traded a 2nd to GB to get DT Williams, now they have no picks in the 1st two rounds. With all their problems on defense I wonder if their setting up a trade of D.Anderson. They have a tonne of holes in their defense and that will catch up to them next year with a lousy record. I certainly DON'T want him I think the amount they want a 1st and 3rd is way to much even if we had Dallas's late 1st and 3rd. That's two defensive starters for a QB that throws a boat load of INT's. Now swap JT and a 3rd (I understand this is still 2 defensive starters but one is on the other side of the hill) I'm all for it but that ain't happening any time soon. Just curious if anyone else had the same idea as I.
 
BROWNS INCREASE OFFER TO ANDERSON​
So much for the Cleveland Browns taking money off the table once quarterback Derek Anderson forced the team to use a restricted free agency tender on him.​
James Walker of the Columbus Dispatch reports that the Browns have upped the offer to Anderson, pushing the guaranteed money on a three-year deal from $10 million to $12 million and the total take from $20 million to a number between $21 million and $23 million.​
Our guess is that the Browns are trying hard to create the appearance that they did all that they could to keep Anderson in the event that he goes elsewhere and: (1) plays as well or better in his new city than he did last year in Cleveland; and (2) Brady Quinn doesn't.​
And we're getting a stronger sense that the Browns are ready for Anderson to move on. If the Browns thought enough of Quinn to give up the fourth pick in the second round of the 2007 draft and their first-rounder in 2008 to get him, why wouldn't they want him to start?​
The fact that the Browns were willing to part with a one and a two might shed some light on whether the Browns believe that Anderson will be given an offer by another team. If a totally unproven Quinn is worth a first-round and a high second-round pick, surely a guy like Anderson is worth a first-rounder and a third-rounder.​
 
I have my doubts that Parcells will be willing to give up the first pick and more for him...even if he likes him.

I can see the Ravens going for him more...but who knows?
 
Didn't the Browns just give up a second for the packer's franchise player??? So maybe they'd be content with our first pick in the second round and maybe a conditional pick next year? I just can't see any team giving up 2 picks this year for him unless the latter pick is a 5th or 6th
