“I don’t think if you go back over the last two-and-a-half years, we could’ve extended Orpheus Roye, Andra Davis, Leigh Bodden, Steve Heiden as recently as this year, guaranteed more money to any rookie lineman in the history of the league, paid for LeCharles Bentley, went out and got Eric Steinbach, actually split the difference and added a little bit on Eric Wright to get him in on time, and then all of a sudden the Browns are gonna shift gears and try to extract blood from the quarterback that we picked, that we say is gonna be the face of the franchise, that we say is the future of this team — it makes no sense, it’s not logical, and I think people are smart enough to figure that out.”

As for Quinn himself, I hope he does eventually learn the difference between his best interest and that of his agent. I also can’t imagine that he’s doing himself any favors whatsoever by speaking into a microphone owned by Channel 19, the archenemy of Browns owner Randy Lerner.
