Brady Quinn is a Member of Kellen Winslow’s Army
Welcome to Hell and the land of burning rivers, Brady Quinn.
Nationally renowned pretty boy and former Notre Dame QB Quinn officially ended his holdout. He is now a member of the Cleveland Browns, or the third-worst franchise in the NFL over the last five years (there was that 2003 aberration), right next to the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions.
The contract is five years, with $7.5 million guaranteed. Its maximum potential value is $30 million after incentives, with $20.2 million being the base salary.
Quite honestly, Quinn will be starting in Cleveland sooner rather than later anyways considering that over-hyped Charlie Frye and ex-Ravens’ scrub Derek Anderson are the two quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart. The only issue is that, at this point, Quinn will more than likely not be under center on opening day, instead having to wait until one of the two lesser quarterbacks falters or is injured.
But, hey, who wouldn’t want to be on a team that has a past-his-prime running back (Jamal Lewis), a wide receiver who has only lived up to his potential in trash talk to this point (Braylon Edwards), a lineman who was suspended four games for ‘roiding it up (Ryan Tucker), one center who was cut by his team in the middle of the season (Hank Fraley), another center who blew out his knee shortly after signing a massive contract (LeCharles Bentley), a rookie cornerback who has had significant problems with the law (the very talented Eric Wright), one of the fattest men to ever play on a football field (Ted Washington), and, of course, the soldier who has problems riding his motorcycle (Kellen Winslow).

And, in finding that clip I found another clip with two of our favorite people in it:

It could be a very interesting season in Brown-land, as the future appears to be coming faster and faster for Cleveland with the inking of the young QB, Joe Thomas potentially anchoring the line, and Edwards and Winslow both being healthy for once. I just hope that they constantly show Brady Quinn’s sister on TV.
