The Facts:
GM Phil Savage said the Browns have begun talks with Derek Anderson's representatives on a long-term contract. Anderson, who began the season as Cleveland's backup, threw 29 touchdown passes in his first year as a starter and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate. Also, Savage is hoping to re-sign running back Jamal Lewis to a long-term contract.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Savage believes Anderson, scheduled to become a restricted free agent, deserves to start again following his breakout season. "He deserves a chance to go into the batter's box and swing for the fences next year," Savage said. With Brady Quinn waiting in the wings, the Browns feel they have two good quarterbacks -- a rare commodity in the league. ... Meanwhile, Lewis rushed for 1,304 yards in his first season for Cleveland, which signed him to a one-year, incentive-based deal in March.
