The Browns announced the release of veteran QB Derek Anderson, ending his tenure with the team. Anderson’s release wasn’t a surprise considering the exorbitant salary he was going to make in 2010. He’s best known for pioneering the Browns to a 10-6 record in 2007, then flopping in stints as the starter in 2008 and 2009. “I want to thank Derek for everything that he gave to the Cleveland Browns organization over the last five years,” said Browns head coach Eric Mangini. “He did everything we asked of him and it was a pleasure to coach such a competitive person. I want to wish him all the best in the future.”

Brodney Pool’s fifth season with the Cleveland Browns was ended prematurely by a concussion. It doesn’t appear he’ll get a sixth one. The safety, whose NFL career has been threatened by a series of head injuries, was not given a second-round tender by the club on Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The Cleveland Browns gave second-round tenders to six restricted free agents including LB D’Qwell Jackson. He can sign offer sheets with other teams, but the Browns would have seven days to match the offer or they’ll receive a second-round draft pick as compensation. Jackson played in only six games last season after landing on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

The Browns terminated the contract of veteran RB Jamal Lewis on Wednesday, making the veteran rusher eligible for free agency. Lewis said earlier in the year that he was going to retire, then backed off those comments after the regular season. “I enjoyed getting to know Jamal and having the opportunity to coach him last season,” Browns head coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. “We want to thank him for his contributions to the Cleveland Browns and wish him nothing but the best moving forward. I’m sure he will be successful in whatever he decides to pursue.”

Browns WR Josh Cribbs said in an interview with CBSSports.com that he’s confident in Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie heading into 2010. Both were rookies in 2009, and Cribbs said they have plenty of potential. Massaquoi finished his rookie season with 34 catches for 624 yards and three touchdowns. Robiskie only appeared in 11 games and finished with seven catches for 106 yards. “They are already great athletes,” Cribbs said. “They step in and do what the coaches ask for. Those two are great guys. They have lots of time to let their talent progress. Mohamed Massaquoi made a lot of clutch catches for us. As soon as we get that quarterback situation corrected they’ll find their perfect targets. And Brian Robiskie, when he was active, he did make a mark.”

Browns WR Josh Cribbs said in an interview with CBSSports.com that he’s confident whoever the starting QB is in 2010 will be successful. Cribbs pointed to the addition of new team president Mike Holmgren as the reason either Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson will get the job done. But Cribbs shed no light on who will start in Week 1 since none of the Browns know if Quinn or Anderson is the starter, and it will be an open competition throughout the offseason. “We have Holmgren coming in,” Cribbs said. “He’s going to assess the situation. He said he will not have a quarterback controversy in Cleveland. He will declare a quarterback before the start of football business. I’m confident that whoever is at the helm will get the job done. Whoever it is, I know they are going to wear a captain’s mark on their chest and lead this […]

Cleveland WR Josh Cribbs said in an interview with CBSSports.com that Browns RB Jerome Harrison has the potential to be a solid player in 2010. Harrison came on for the injured Jamal Lewis in 2009 and finished the season with 194 carries for 862 yards and five touchdowns and 34 catches for 220 yards and two touchdowns. Most of that damage came in the final three games (107 carries for 561 yards and five touchdowns), and Cribbs said Harrison can build on that coming into this season. “That’s a great talent,” Cribbs said. “He’s going to be a great talent in this league for years to come. He’s young and he’s ready to play. That’s a great player right there.”

In a very short news release, the Browns announced that WR Donte Stallworth was released from the team. Stallworth was suspended for the entire 2009 season stemming from a DUI manslaughter conviction from last summer, a conviction he served jail time for. Stallworth has been remorseful for his crime and has since been reinstated by the league.

Browns WR/KR Josh Cribbs said in an interview with CBSSports.com that he’s looking forward to spending more time on offense in 2010 — no matter what team he plays for. Cribbs was unhappy with his contract in 2009, but new Browns president Mike Holmgren wants Cribbs back in Cleveland. That’s fine by Cribbs as long as he gets paid and gets to touch the ball more often. “I played the role of the X-factor — a guy that can come in and change the football game,” Cribbs said. “I did everything that was needed. I played a lot of Wildcat, quarterback, running back, wide receiver and produced heavily at it. If teams had trouble against the Wildcat, we ran it a bunch of times. If they had trouble with me in the slot, we kept running it. Whatever worked for us, we just left it out there for teams to […]
