Cleveland Browns to host former Panther Jake Delhomme

After acquiring Seneca Wallace and showing Derek Anderson the door, Cleveland’s czar Mike Holmgren is not done addressing the quarterback position.

The Browns are set to host Jake Delhomme for a visit, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. After his surprising release late last week, Delhomme quickly became the top free agent quarterback on the market, and Cleveland is one of the few matches for him as a potential starter.

Considering the Browns got Wallace fairly cheap, if Delhomme is signed he would likely be the starter at quarterback and Wallace would remain the backup option.

Delhomme led the Carolina Panthers to a pair of NFC Championship games and came within three points of beating the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl during his inaugural season with the team.

His poor play, including tossing 18 INTs to only eight TDs in 11 games last season, was the main factor in his release from the team he guided through their most successful period in franchise history.
