Romeo Crennel has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with the Browns, his agent said Monday night. Crennel, the league's oldest coach, had two years remaining on the five-year deal he signed with the Browns in 2005. His agent, Joe Linta, said the sides have agreed in principle to the extension but that it has not yet been signed, according to an Associated Press report.

The Cleveland Browns have made contract offers to quarterback Derek Anderson and running back Jamal Lewis, according to the Associated Press. A team representative confirmed that proposals were sent to each player but did not provide further details.

An unnamed source revealed to the Columbus Dispatch that the Browns and quarterback Derek Anderson have begun discussing the possibility of coming to terms on a three-year deal. Anderson will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Browns' Defensive Coordinator Todd Grantham, once considered a possible successor to Coach Romeo Crennel, was fired on Friday after Cleveland finished the season with one of the league's worst defenses. Grantham's dismissal was a surprise, coming just months after the fiery 41-year-old signed a two-year contract extension.

As a reward for Cleveland's comeback season, the Browns plan to extend Coach Romeo Crennel's contract. "We have every intention of doing something right by Romeo," Browns' General Manager Phil Savage said Wednesday. Crennel signed a five-year deal with the Browns in 2005. He began this past season with his future in doubt and a 10-22 record to show for his first two seasons in Cleveland. But after a terrible start, the Browns went 10-6 behind an explosive offense and barely missed the AFC playoffs. The 60-year-old Crennel, who won five Super Bowl rings as an assistant, is 20-28 in his first stint as an NFL head coach.

Coming off a 10-6 campaign that saw the Browns narrowly miss the playoffs, the agent for Cleveland's Romeo Crennel is talking to the team about extending the coach's current contract, according to a published report. "It was really me calling them and just saying, 'Romeo is in his third year and he's obviously turned the program around. Is this going to be the guy that's going to be the face of the franchise and is he sticking around here for a long time?' " Crennel's agent Joe Litna told The Columbus Dispatch. "Obviously, if they don't end up doing something with him [within the next year], he'll end up becoming a lame duck." Crennel is currently in the third year of a five-year contract with Cleveland. He has a 20-28 record with the Browns.

Browns' Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who turned Cleveland's offense into one of the NFL's most potent attacks, will interview for the Baltimore Ravens' coaching vacancy. Browns' GM Phil Savage confirmed late Thursday night that the Browns had granted the Ravens' interview request. It is not known when the 39-year-old Chudzinski will meet with the Ravens who fired Brian Billick on Monday after a lackluster 5-11 season, his ninth in Baltimore. Meanwhile, a Ravens' official told The Batimore Sun Thursday that Defensive Coordinator Rex Ryan will meet with team officials on Sunday.

The Browns are about to embark on an important offseason with several crucial decisions, none bigger than at quarterback. Derek Anderson, the former sixth-round pick who began '07 as Charlie Frye's backup and ended it as a Pro Bowl alternate, is scheduled to become a restricted free agent. The team has several options with Anderson, who passed for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns but also had 19 interceptions. Complicating matters is that Brady Quinn, he of the Notre Dame pedigree and runway model looks, also is on Cleveland's roster, and the Browns gave up their 2008 first-round draft pick to Dallas in order to get him. Needing to fill other holes, especially on a defense that struggled with injuries all season, the Browns may be willing to part with Anderson. They'll listen to offers. "If anybody is interested in him, we'll just have to see how it goes," Browns' Head Coach Romeo Crennel said. "Sometimes people can make you an offer and you can say, 'No, I think I'm going to stay with what I got.' Sometimes they make you an offer and you say, 'Oooohhh.'"
