Stop the Presses

In the non-shocking upset of the day, John Clayton, ESPN.com's "Senior NFL Writer" (is there a Junior NFL Writer?) reports:

Brady Quinn's agent, Tom Condon, met with the Browns on Sunday, but neither side is close to a contract. The Browns opened rookie camp without their top three choices -- left tackle Joe Thomas, Quinn and cornerback Eric Wright.

Among the problems holding up the Quinn negotiations is what to do in the fourth and fifth years if he becomes the team's starting quarterback. He lost about $20 million in guarantees by dropping to the 22nd pick.

We don't expect Quinn in camp anytime soon, especially since he's substantially behind in the QB race at this point. But we're crossing our fingers for Thomas and Wright to get in soon, b/c they're really going to be the impact rookies this year, and we need them to get going.
