The team announced that Anderson had been cut Tuesday morning, and then he replied to an e-mail question from a reporter at the News Herald. 

In that story, the newspaper said that Anderson issued this statement:

"The fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner.  I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured."

On Wednesday morning, he issued this statement to the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

"I said some things to Jeff Schudel (of The News-Herald) earlier that I regret. Those of you who got to know me personally from covering the Browns over the past five years, know this was out of character for me. I wasn't taken out of context, but I was speaking out of my frustration after my career with the Browns came to a close. I had some great times playing in Cleveland, especially during the 2007 season and I met some great people and made many lifelong friends along the way. I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life."

Anderson made the Pro Bowl in 2007 when he threw 29 touchdown passes and led the club to a 10-6 record.

His release came one day after the Browns acquired QB Seneca Wallace in a trade from Seattle.
