Jamaal Brown wants to be released...

Speedy Ron · 06-14-2010, 04:21 PM

Saints beat writer Jeff Duncan confirms that unsigned restricted free agent LT Jammal Brown "isn't going anywhere," despite his reported displeasure in New Orleans.
Yahoo! reported Monday that Brown wants to be released, but the Saints aren't going to give up a talented left tackle for nothing. The team holds all the cards, with Jermon Bushrod plenty capable of starting if Brown holds out.

who could blame him.....hes a top 5 tackle that wants to stay in new orleans long term and make top 5 tackle money

the team isnt willing to pay him what hes worth....the fans arent willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and he isnt happy with not being wanted

if nobody wants you around why would you want to stay?

How much is an oft-injured LT worth these days?

I don't think we (us fans AND the team) are guilty of not wanting him around. I think he is guilty of trying to hold us ransom after not playing for a year. What has he been offered, and what has he turned down?

"What can Brown do for you?"

Apparently not much, according to the Saints. The team wants him to sign his tender, and possibly sompete for the starting LT spot this coming season. Or they want him to sign his tender so they can trade him to another team.

Brown wants a long-term deal, which he is not going to get. I think he will have to sign his tender, and report. If he does sign, he could then be traded to another team. That other team might even want him to play RT, in which case his value would decrease significantly anyway. But if he does not sign, and holds out, he would be unable to show any potential employers whether he can still play or not. And, if he does not play again in 2010, that will be two full seasons of being idle, something that will lower his value. He doesn't have much in the way of leverage.

The last time I checked, Carmichael and Kromer were coaches for the Saints. Canton's opinions are just those...his opinions.

Me, I will go with the coaches who see them everyday (past and present)!
