Per his posts on Facebook cited in an Ohio newspaper (link)

"Looks like it is time to make a return to a familiar place for some unfinished business," Anderson posted on his Facebook page one day after Chudzinski was named Browns coach. "I'd be honored to return to Cleveland to play football if the fans would have me."

It makes sense. He never has success without chud. He is 29 and has a chance to start there. I would go.

Compared to what Cleveland has now, he's probably a starter.

Hopefully we can get a reliable back-up through the draft, because Jimmy isn't it.

Yeah, this looks like his last real chance at a starting gig, even if it's only for a few years.

Don't blame him at all.

He might actually get to play some as a Brown. Who wants to play backup for Superman?

Good luck DA... Make sure to stay serious (We need to get a backup I say try to get Dominique Davis off of Atlanta's roster)

Shame, I can't blaim him... But it's a shame. I felt safe knowing that there was a buffer between Cam and Pickles... He knew the O, and the guy can still play.

Best of luck to him personally... But FUG Cleaveland and Chud!

I have a feeling that Chud knowing our personnel... This certainly won't be the last guy to go to Ckeveland

People like Gettis may feel they'd be treated more fairly by somebody else... Just throwing it out there

He and Weeden are the same age. Anderson has learned a lot--I think he can beat out Weeden if he plays well.

It's unlikely, but he's got a chance, anyways.

New coach, Chud has had some success with Anderson in the past, Weeden doesn't have a huge contract and is the same age as Anderson (lol).

I like him a lot, showed tremendous team spirit here. If he wants to go to the Browns we should let him walk.

As a backup without a contract, I would expect he would be happy to play anywhere. Obviously he thinks that he might be able to rekindle some magic with Cleveland. It was the only time in his career that he had much success. Can't blame him.
