Detroit previously was set to get Cincinnati’s third- and fifth-round picks, a deal still posted on the Bengals’ team Web site late Friday night.

Meanwhile, two quarterbacks stayed put: Cleveland’s Derek Anderson and Washington’s Todd Collins.

Anderson, who came off the bench after the first game to lead Cleveland to a 10-6 record, signed a multiyear contract hours after he became a restricted free agent.

“This is where I want to be,” Anderson said. “I told my agent, ‘Let’s do the right things to get that taken care of.’ In my heart, I knew I was going to get back.”

The 36-year-old Collins, who took the Redskins to the playoffs after taking over for an injured Jason Campbell agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract to stay put. Coach Jim Zorn already has said Collins will remain Campbell’s backup next season.

The Browns also acquired defensive tackle Corey Williams from Green Bay for a second-round draft pick and then signed him to a six-year deal.

In other deals Friday:

  • Denver released wide receiver Javon Walker and linebacker Ian Gold.
  • San Diego re-signed backup QB Billy Volek, who led the Chargers to a playoff win in Indianapolis in relief of the injured Philip Rivers.
