BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Quarterback Brady Quinn has agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the Cleveland Browns, ending an 11-day holdout that jeopardized his chances to begin the season as the team's starter.
Quinn was flying to the Browns' headquarters Tuesday to sign the deal, a source within the league said on condition of anonymity because the contract's language was still being finalized.
The deal is worth $20.2 million, with $7.75 million guaranteed. It could reach $30 million over five years with incentives.
Quinn, a four-year starter at Notre Dame, was projected as a top 10 pick in April's draft. When he slipped deeper into the first round, the Browns traded a 2008 first-round pick to Dallas and selected the former Notre Dame quarterback at No. 22.
The major sticking point in negotiations between the Browns and agent Tom Condon are escalator clauses based on playing time for Quinn, who has been working out in Arizona.
