Associated Press
The Cleveland Browns have released quarterback Derek Anderson.

Anderson made the Pro Bowl in 2007 when he threw 29 touchdown passes and led the club to a 10-6 record. But his career has been in a tailspin ever since. He lost his starting job to Brady Quinn last season, got it back when Quinn was injured but played poorly.

Anderson's release comes one day after the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace in a trade from Seattle.

The 26-year-old Anderson spent five seasons with Cleveland. He was due a $2 million roster bonus March 19.

Browns coach Eric Mangini said in a statement that Anderson did "everything we asked of him and it was a pleasure to coach such a competitive person."

Is Mangini saying they asked him to throw the ball along the grass, in the grass or over the receiver, short of the receiver, etc. cause he surely did all they asked of him as he did quite a bit of that.

Back up material for Ben till Ben gets back?

If Ben is charged, the NFL will suspend him. The Steelers might even tack on an extra game or two. But I know that Derek Anderson is not the answer. We don't want any part of a guy who was cut from the Browns. And worse, a guy who couldn't clearly beat out Brady stinkin Quinn
