Browns send QB Quinn to Broncos
Football Betting Lines
03/14/2010 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Quarterback Brady Quinn is set for a new beginning that had been rumored as the former first-round pick was dealt from Cleveland to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The move came a day after the Browns reportedly came to terms with veteran QB Jake Delhomme.
The Quinn deal, pending physicals, will net the Browns fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-round draft pick and a conditional 2012 draft pick.
Quinn, 25, was deemed expendable by new team president Mike Holmgren, who seems intent on shaking up the club's roster in an attempt at a quick turnaround. A former Notre Dame star, Quinn played in 10 games -- nine starts -- for the five-win Browns in 2009, throwing for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
With Quinn's departure, both of Cleveland's starting quarterbacks from last season have now been deleted from the roster. Derek Anderson, who earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2007, was cut earlier in the offseason after Seneca Wallace was acquired from Seattle in a trade.
Quinn has spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Browns, playing in 14 games. He has 1,902 career passing yards with 10 touchdowns and nine picks.
Like the Browns, the Broncos have now undergone a complete quarterback overhaul in the past year, having traded Jay Cutler to Chicago following the 2008 season in exchange for Kyle Orton.
Hillis, 24, has played the past two seasons for the Broncos, who selected the Arkansas product in the seventh round of the 2008 draft. In 26 career games, he has averaged 4.9 yards per carry and has amassed six TDs and 397 yards.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5
