BEREA, Ohio—Mike Holmgren was looking for an experienced quarterback when the Carolina Panthers cut Jake Delhomme.
So the Cleveland Browns went after the 35-year-old, a veteran who Holmgren believes still can play despite Delhomme’s eight touchdowns and 18 interceptions last season.
Cleveland signed the former Pro Bowl quarterback to a two-year contract that the team made official on Monday. Terms were not disclosed.
Within a week, Holmgren overhauled the position.
Derek Anderson was released and Seneca Wallace was acquired in a trade.
On Sunday, the Browns traded Brady Quinn to the Denver Broncos. Holmgren acknowledges Quinn’s 12 career starts weren’t enough to make a fair determination, but says he wanted to avoid a quarterback dilemma.
