BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Charlie Frye will start at quarterback for Cleveland's season opener Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Frye, who started 13 games last year, entered training camp slightly behind Derek Anderson in the quarterback competition. But he outperformed Anderson during preseason games and directed one touchdown drive against the Denver Broncos. Anderson produced no touchdowns when he led the offense during preseason games. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7185728?MSNHPHMA JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars released oft-injured quarterback Byron Leftwich on Saturday, one day after announcing they planned to part ways with the former first-round draft pick. The Jaguars had hoped to trade Leftwich, but also said they were prepared to release him in hopes of avoiding any locker-room problems stemming from his demotion. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7179360 PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed right guard Kendall Simmons to a four-year extension on Sunday that could be worth as much as $24 million, a deal that makes certain they won't go into the 2008 season without both starting guards. The deal secures Simmons through the 2011 season and guarantees him $7.85 million in new money. He was already set to make $900,000 this season, with a salary cap value of $1,435,664 to the Steelers. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-steelers-simmons&prov=ap&type=lgns TEMPE, Ariz. – When cornerback Eric Green reported for training camp with the Arizona Cardinals in July, he delivered a familiar punch line about this franchise. He talked about the team having a different energy and a new face. This, Green said, was the new and improved Cardinals. It's the Cardinals' fourth new look in 12 seasons. And improved? Well, that typically turns out to be the annual joke. "I really do think it's going to be different this time," general manager Rod Graves told Yahoo! Sports, just before training camp kicked off. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AjOpEpzYbjSRl_zLkJwb_e05nYcB?slug=cr-whisenhunt090307&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
