A reader has pointed out to us a curious quote at the bottom of the Wikipedia entry of Browns quarterback Derek Anderson:

“It is rumored that he has signed a $47 million contract with the Carolina Panthers, with $17 million guranteed [sic].  Browns would receive a 1st and 3rd pick in the 2008 draft.  Panthers pick 13th.”

It’s probably a load of crap, but it’s intriguing nevertheless.

And even if it’s accurate that Anderson will sign with the Panthers, the Browns would have seven days to match the offer sheet.  It’s highly unlikely, however, that they would.

[Update:  The Anderson Wikipedia page is now officially a mess.]
