Brady Quinn thinks he should have been a top 3 pick, so he should be paid like a top 3 pick. Guess what Brady, you were picked 22nd. Now, it could be Quinn's agent convincing him to hold out - but if it's all the agent I would assume Quinn would be telling him, "Get a deal done so I can get to camp." The Browns did not pick Quinn at 22 to pay him like a top 3 or top 5 pick, they picked him at 22 to pay him what that slot deserves. It's just mind-boggling that Quinn and his agent think this is a great strategy. The longer Quinn holds out, the less chance he has of getting a starting job. If he doesn't get a starting job soon, and starts things off on the wrong foot with the Browns, whats his NEXT contract going to look like? Quinn needs to accept that he was the 22nd player taken, take his salary of about 15 million or so for 5 years, get to camp - win the starting job, and prove that he's worth the big bucks. If he did this, he would be plenty rich in a couple years. It's almost like this hold out says "I'm probably not going to get to a next big contract because I suck, so I need to cash in before everyone finds out I'm a bad Quarterback." The pathetic part is that the Browns QB job is totally open and there for the taking, but Quinn wants to insist that he be paid like the top pick he wasn't instead of going out there and earning it. If I was Brady Quinn's teammate I'd hate him already.
