Follow the money

While we wait another day for the Mangenius’ QB Roulette Wheel to slow down, this factoid may steer the smart betting onto 3 rather than 10:

If over 30% of the Browns’ offensive snaps this season are taken by someone other than Brady Quinn, the Browns will save $11 million over the next two years that Quinn remains under contract.

Keeping him tied up in an very team-friendly contract, ala Josh Cribbs, may just be this regime’s M.O. Figure they’ll dump DA after ’09 (saving another $9.5 million) and thus have the budget to draft Mangini’s vision of a true franchise QB.
