Via the AP: Waiting for Brady: Browns, Quinn not close
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Brady Quinn missed his fourth day of training camp Monday in a contract holdout that shows no signs of ending anytime soon for the first-round draft pick.
Quinn, who figures to compete for the starting job with Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, has missed six practices so far.
Browns general manager Phil Savage has been in negotiations with Quinn’s agent, Tom Condon, but the team said there was nothing new to report.
Cool! Anything that impedes the Browns’ growth and contributes to a poor record and as high a #1 pick as possible, the better.
Steven,
I think Cleveland traded their 2008 #1 pick to get Quinn. So they’ll be helping…..Oops I get it now. Cleveland swapped picks with Dallas. Anything to help the Cowboys, eh?
Cheers,
Bill

[…] Hat tip- Dr. Taylor at Poliblog Deportes who sees the holdout as good news for the Dallas Cowboys. If Quinn’s play or the Browns growth is impeded by the holdout, that means a poor record and a better draft 2008 first round pick for the Cowboys. Remember the Browns traded up in order to get Quinn.

Of course, this might mean that the Browns go with a veteran QB for the whole season, which could make the m better this year. The ideal, of course, would be for Quinn to hold out deep into camp and THEN emerge as the Browns’ 16-game starter.

Quite true. Of course, the Browns vets are stink so our odds are decent either way!
