Anderson came out 29 touchdowns passes and led the team created a 10 team wins six negative history records, he was elected in 2007, the All-Star team. However, since then, his promising career into a corner. The start of last season, he lost the starting position, replaced by Brady - Quinn, which he later returned to the starting lineup once again relegated to the bench. When Quinn is injured, he returned to starting position, and the Cleveland Browns won the last two games.

Anderson, now 26-year-old played in the Cleveland Browns team five seasons, he was in 2005 Baltimore Ravens selected, then traded to the Cleveland Browns. Anderson on March 19 should be given a list of two million U.S. dollars prize money, his salary in 2010 will reach 7.45 million U.S. dollars, a heavy economic burden Cleveland Browns decided to give his reasons. "I want to thank Derek for his in the past five years, the contribution for the Cleveland Browns," coach Eric Mangini said in a statement, "We asked him to do everything he did, coaching such a a competitive player is a pleasant thing. I wish him every success in the coming days. "

In 2007, Anderson, 3,787 yards passing in his 29 passing, 17 second pass on the outside to take over Bulei Long - John Edwards, this has been taken over outside the Cleveland Browns last season was sold to New York Jets. Has the strongest arm, as one of the NFL players, Anderson never failed to repeat his 2007's success.

For the Cleveland Browns, their quarterback for choosing the direction is unclear. Quinn failed to meet expectations; Wallace, this with the Cleveland Browns President Mike - Holmgren worked in the Seahawks players, he has a good all-round skills, but they do not see in him to the future prospects. Holmgren said last week that the team is trying to find the one quarterback, but did not made it clear that this is where the election means that the free agent or through a trade. Cleveland Browns in April's draft, there will be 11 in options, the club is likely to pick out a good player and cultivate those.
