The Browns appear to be closing in on a three-year contract extension with QB Derek Anderson, who had a very nice season with Cleveland and almost led the squad to the playoffs. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Browns General Manager Phil Savage said Tuesday he’s optimistic the Browns will sign quarterback Derek Anderson to a three-year deal before he becomes a restricted free agent on Feb. 28. “Talks have been a little more frequent in recent days,” Savage said in an e-mail response. “It seems that the three-year deal is becoming more the focus. We’ve had pretty good dialogue and will continue over the [NFL scouting] combine.”

We can’t imagine the Browns are going to eat up a ton of cap space with both Anderson and Brady Quinn (and the mystery hand). So the questions become: Should Cleveland trade him, and would you like to see the Vikings make a run at him?
