Bears announce release of defensive end Alex Brown
Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2010 1:46 PM ET
As expected, the Chicago Bears have released defensive end Alex Brown.

The eight-year veteran, who joined the team via the fourth-round of the 2002 draft, appeared in 127 games, starting 107 of them.

In 2006, he was a first alternative for the Pro Bowl. The following year, he was a second alternate.

He's now an unrestricted free agent, able to sign with any team -- including the "Final Eight" teams, given that he achieved his status via the termination of his contract.

I'm no one.
Who are you?

Re: Alex Brown to be released today!

Yes please. 30 years old, and looks like a 6 sacks per year type guy.

Re: Alex Brown to be released today!

I'd like for us to have him. He is a solid yet not spectacular player that would allow us to look at DT and LB early in the draft and DE later if needed. I think he would be on par with what we saw from Grant if not an upgrade.

Agree. Bring him in. Nails down DE spot with a solid, good guy. Would be an upgrade over Charles Grant. Hopefully we can get him for a good price. Allows us to focus on DT and OLB in the Draft.

Re: Alex Brown to be released today!

Brown finishes his Bears career with 43½ regular-season sacks, 55 tackles for a loss, five interceptions and 16 forced fumbles. Known for playing through pain, Brown suited up for 127 consecutive games, missing just one game during his tenure in Chicago.

This was a salary dump. Plain and simple. He was due over $10MM this year. If I were Loomis, I would already be on the phone with this guys agent.

Agreed. That would be a lethal rotation with him and McCray.
