Saints not expected to cut ties with Brown

Third-year veteran Jermon Bushrod is doing a nice job filling in for the injured Jammal Brown at left tackle, but sources expect the Saints to push to re-sign Brown when he becomes a free agent this offseason. Brown, who will be a restricted free agent barring a breakthrough in Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations, was placed on injured reserve before suiting up for a game following two surgeries. Bushrod has held his own in seven starts, but observers say he's not playing at Brown's level yet. There had been talk that Brown was overrated in recent years. However, sources say some in New Orleans have a new appreciation for him after watching the offensive line without him for the first extended period since he entered the league in 2005. With Bushrod developing, the Saints will avoid giving a long-term deal to Brown, but issuing him a high one-year tender is a good possibility.
