For the same reason as the Niners moving Shaun Hill earlier today, the Cleveland Browns have shipped off one of their signal-callers.
Quarterback Brady Quinn has been traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for FB Peyton Hillis, a 2011 6th-round pick, and a late round pick in 2o12. Jay Glazer, of FoxSports, first broke the story.
While Quinn finally gets a fresh start elsewhere, the former first-round draft pick will have to beat out Denver’s other options (Chris Simms, Kyle Orton) just for a chance to start. It’ll be interesting to see what Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, a QB quru of sorts, can do with Quinn.
Cleveland had a logjam at the position, recently trading for Seneca Wallace and signing Jake Delhomme. Quinn never fit in with their future plans and was sent packing.
