It appears that the Browns are sold on their quarterback situation being in the hands of second year youngster, Charlie Frye. Late Thursday Cleveland sent Trent Dilfer to the 49ers in exchange for backup quarterback Ken Dorsey and a seventh round pick.
“Trent was a player we had interest in last season,” 49ers coach Mike Nolan said in a statement. “We were looking for a veteran quarterback with experience that could help mentor Alex Smith. Trent fits the bill on both counts and we are excited to have him with the 49ers.”
In Dilfer, the 49ers have an insurance policy in case Alex Smith continues to struggle grasping the nuances of the NFL. In Dorsey, the Browns make the statement that Frye will be their man in ’06.
“Trent Dilfer played an important role in the making over of our football team last year,” Browns general manager Phil Savage said in a statement. “At this point, to add Ken Dorsey and to give Trent the opportunity to go back home to California is a win-win for all parties.”
Are Browns fans excited that the future is now in Cleveland?
