He lost his starting job to Brady Quinn last season, got it back when Quinn was injured but played poorly. Anderson's release comes one day after the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace in a trade from Seattle.
The 26-year-old Anderson spent five seasons with Cleveland. He was due a $2 million roster bonus March 19.
In a statement released Tuesday, Browns coach Eric Mangini said, "He did everything we asked of him and it was a pleasure to coach such a competitive person."
