Browns QB Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks, Bryce Fisher leaves The Cleveland Browns traded today quarterback Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick. Frye started for the Browns during Week 1, taking the spot from Derek Anderson, but after a bad first half against the Steelers in the opener, he was pulled out for completing 4 of 10 passes for 34 yards and an interception, while being sacked five times. Quarterback Derek Anderson will likely take the starter job at Cleveland, although rumors have it that first-round draft pick Brady Quinn have a deal in place with the Browns and may become the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

Charlie Frye was a third round pick for the Cleveland Browns in 2005, with a career quarterback rating of 70.2. "This trade was ultimately good for everyone involved. It gives us some clarity at the position and gives Charlie a fresh chance in another place...This will change Brady's preparation during the week. It will give him more reps and continue to improve his development for the day he takes over," Cleveland general manager Phil Savage said on Tuesday.
