the triggers are playing time and nothing else. if all the triggers are hit, quinn will get paid like the #9 draft pick. the browns want performance based triggers for the kind of incentives he wants.

As well they should. No one can fault the Browns for this mess except for wasting a draft pick on this turd.

It seems like he's pretty much already blown his chances at playing significantly this year (if at all) by holding out this long. Now on top of that, he's holding out to get incentive triggers that would make it LESS likely that he actually gets paid!

If Quinn has his way, he can be sure that he'll spend the first year or two "learning from the bench" a la Philip Rivers or Carson Palmer, all while the Browns don't pay him any incentives for playing time. If the Browns have their way and the escalators are performance-based he's more likely to see the field sooner (after he makes up the lost time from the holdout) because the Browns will only have to pay the incentives if they get the on-field results they want out of him.

Our golden boy may be close to inking a deal....



Over the last week or so, the Cleveland Browns and Superagent Tom Condon have exchanged offers and talked (or not talked, depending on the day). Both sides have postured a bit in the press, suggesting that the other side isn't communicating well or making unreasonable demands.

The truth is somewhat less melodramatic. Quinn's representatives have been asking for certain levels of guaranteed money as well as financial escalators built within the contract. Both have been sticking points in the negotiations, with the Browns offering less than Quinn's representatives demand and with gaps that refuse to close.

Sources close to the negotiations have told the Orange and Brown Report's John Taylor exclusively this morning that the impasse may be nearing an end. We have been informed that Quinn's camp would be likely to compromise on the guaranteed money if the team bends on the escalators. Such a deal would break both factors holding up a contract.

Our long national nightmare is over:

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Quinn agrees to 5-year deal with Browns

Quinn agrees to 5-year deal with Browns

The Brady Quinn saga is now officially over.
The rookie quarterback has agreed to terms on a five-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, FOXSports.com has learned. The deal is worth $20.2 million, and could reach a total value of $30 million with escalators. The contract contains $7.75 million in guaranteed money.
