Browns finally reach terms with Quinn
Brady Quinn and the Cleveland Browns finally got a deal done.
The first-round draft pick ended his 11-day holdout Tuesday, agreeing to a five-year deal with the Browns. The deal, worth $20.2 million with $7.75 million guaranteed, could reach $30 million over five years with incentives.
The holdout has essentially ended any chance that Quinn, a four-year starter at Notre Dame, had to win the starting job in camp.
“He’ll get here early and he’ll stay late,” coach Romeo Crennel said.
•Also at Browns camp, guard Eric Steinbach left practice after he fell on his right knee.
Former Coug gets opportunity
Former Washington State Cougars tight end Troy Bienemann will play in his first football game in 21 months when the Arizona Cardinals visit the Oakland Raiders on Saturday.
Bienemann tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the next-to-last game of his senior year, then tore it again six months later. Now he’s trying to make the Cardinals as a free agent.
Owens returns
Terrell Owens returned to practice after missing two days because of back spasms, and is expected to play in the preseason opener on Thursday against Indianapolis.
•Cowboys safety Ken Hamlin sat out practice, a day after taking a shot to the head during a drill. The former Seahawk may miss the preseason opener.
