Saints looking at Troy Brown

papz · 05-17-2005, 01:20 PM

But if Stinchcomb continues to improve the way he is improving... and he can supplant Gandy during training camp (from what reports have been saying which is a real possibility), we might not even need to have him on our roster anymore. If he doesn't want to take an huge paycut... he's getting 5 million this year I think... which I wouldn't see why he wouldn't take one , there is all of our extra cap room right there.

Troy Brown, although short and old, possesses things that our WRs need: a classy leader with sure hands. He might be looking for more than the Saints are willing to pay tho.

He's getting just over 5 mil, as I recall.

I'm not sure I buy the stuff on Stinch just yet. Perhaps that stuff will shake out in training camp - I heard there are a number of teams who think Brown could play LT too. Maybe it is just a four way competition for both the RT and LT jobs among Stinchcomb, Gandy, Brown, and Mayberry?

i said we should look at T Brown.....and now they are.............i hope they find a way to sign him...we need sure hands for those 3rd downs..

JKool · 05-17-2005, 02:56 PM

Tigger, please suggest we look at Simon from the Eagles or some other stud DT or LB. Every little bit helps!

I think T. Brown could be a good signing. Of course, last year, I was pretty excited about that had been in Detroit before he got hurt...

I'm all for Brown, and I think that if there's anything Loomis does well (and there doesn't seem to be a lot), he manages the cap extraordinarily. I'm not worried about signing players - he'll get it done. There has been absolutely ZERO talk about being in cap trouble from the team - and there hasn't even been a suggestion that everyone won't be in camp when training camp starts. They'll get it done.

i didnt read all the post so im not sure what he is seeking. i wouldnt think it would be much. but i love the idea. he has played for a winni9ng team and he will doi anything. i say bring the guy on board. should help some of our younger wide outs

JKool · 05-17-2005, 05:20 PM

I agree kb. I don't think we should break the bank for him, but how much can he really want?

FireVenturi · 05-17-2005, 05:31 PM

i think brown would be great, though don't ex[pect him to see time at cb. we dont have a bellichick

spkb25 · 05-17-2005, 05:31 PM

exactly jkool with his age and everything he cant be seeking that much. i think it would help with the loss of pathon also.
