After the Cleveland Browns signed free agent quarterback Jake Delhomme, the other star quarterback Brady Quinn just unsurprisingly became expendable to the Browns, but it still surprised quite a few people when the Browns traded him to the Denver Broncos for fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2012.
The trade happened just one day after the deal with Delhomme was done. Since putting on Browns jersey in 2007 as the 22end pick in the first round, Quinn has been embraced by Browns fans as the quarterback of the future, but he never succeed in proving that to the Browns. Eventually winning the starting job, however, he was benched after 2 1/2 games and Derek Anderson took over the starting job. He got the job back later in the season but was still hindered by inaccuracy, completing only 53 percent of his passes for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
The Browns gave up both Anderson and Quinn this season by releasing Anderson and trading Quinn to another team. Now with backup quarterback Seneca Wallace after a trade with the Seattle Seahawks and Delhomme, the Browns could just feel happy that they have done a great deal, no matter how the Broncos will use Quinn.

QB Moore decided to stay with Panthers for one more season
Instead of testing his value on the free agent market, quarterback Matt Moore seems to like being the Carolina Panthers’ starting quarterback, and he has signed his one-year, $3.043 million tender with the Panthers.
The move came on Thursday, just one week after long-time starting quarterback Jake Delhomme was released by the Panthers, who have declared that Moore would be the starting quarterback by the beginning of training camp. And Moore’s agent Lynn Lashbrook also said that his client preferred to sign the tender than test the open market.
At age of 25, Moore received starting job in late last season when previous starter Delhomme was sidelined with a broken finger, and he did a considerably great job by leading to Panthers to 4-1 for the final five games with eight touchdowns and two interceptions and a passer rating of 98.5. As somewhat reward to his impressive performance, the Panthers placed the highest possible tender on Moore while released Delhomme, who had been wearing Panthers jerseys for seven years.
