Quarterback Jake Delhomme completed his visit to Cleveland last week and drove to the airport for a flight to New Orleans. He never made it.
Travel delays forced Delhomme to return to Charlotte, N.C., where he chose to sign with the Browns without visiting his hometown Saints. The chance to start was more important than being a backup in his home state.
Delhomme, who grew up in Breaux Bridge, La., and spent his first five years with the Saints, would have been a backup to Drew Brees with the Super Bowl champions. In Cleveland, he is the favorite to win the starting job after team president Mike Holmgren and the Browns parted ways with Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn.
Delhomme’s main competition will be Seneca Wallace, whom the Browns acquired in a trade with Seattle.

Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play when the Cleveland Browns go against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Cribbs was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after the last play of the Browns’ 16-0 loss to Baltimore on Monday night. He was briefly hospitalized with a possible neck injury and concussion.
Mangini says all of the measures taken with Cribbs were precautionary and that all the tests came back negative.

Mangini said he knows where he is headed on the decision but has not yet spoken to his two quarterbacks.

If Joshua Cribbs is a fan of the Web site profootballtalk.com, he might not be a regular visitor to the site in the future.
On the site’s home page Tuesday were a series of headlines, including one that read: “Cribbs not happy with Cleveland fans.”
The short story that followed said Browns’ fans were chanting, “Go, Pack, Go” near the end of the Packers’ 31-3 win in Cleveland Browns Stadium last Sunday. It was actually many of the large number of Packers’ fans in attendance who were chanting.
Cribbs, in a Tribune Chronicle story, said, “I hate it. It hurts when I hear that. I almost want to run up in the stands and boo with our fans. It reminded me of a couple of years back when Pittsburgh came in here and they overwhelmed our stadium. That should never happen, especially in Browns town. I don’t care how bad we’re doing. This is Browns town.”

As personal policy, Browns quarterback Derek Anderson isn’t looking at his statistics. He knows they’re not pretty.
“I honestly know they are garbage,” he said Wednesday. “I haven’t looked at them since I started playing.”
Good thing. Anderson is currently the lowest-rated quarterback in the NFL with a 40.6 mark. In Anderson’s last three games, he has completed 23 of 70 passes.
Anderson, though, feels he has learned more this season — his fifth — than during any in his career. He’s grateful for the support he has received from coach Eric Mangini, who is sticking with him despite a 1-3 mark since replacing Brady Quinn as Cleveland’s starter.

Will the Browns add to their stockpile of picks in the 2010 draft by swinging another deal before today’s 4 o’clock NFL trade deadline?
The prominent names mentioned in rumors have been quarterback Brady Quinn, specialist Josh Cribbs and defensive end Corey Williams.
Not-so-prominent rumors have posed trade possibilities involving linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, nose tackle Shaun Rogers, and, yes, even left tackle Joe Thomas.
Why are the Browns the subject of so many rumors? That’s obvious. Coach Eric Mangini has not been shy about pulling the trigger on trades to rid his locker room of players not with his program.
