They say that detriot and Buffalo are the front runners, but i can't see detriot signing another back?


''Right now, after our visits, I would say that Buffalo and Detroit are the front-runners. I don’t really know what is going on with Tennessee,'' Brown’s agent Ryan Morgan told The City Paper.

[Ebenezer]

remember Detroit is being run by Matt Millen....

being a LB he just really likes RBs and WRs

[The Spaz]

It would be good to have A-Train, Chris Brown and either draft Peterson or Lynch!:up::clap:

[acattack15]

"The Spaz" has the best idea, get 3 legit RB's and rotate them. I say we sign Chris Brown, even though he has his issues, and also draft an RB in early round of the draft. That way, even if one doesn't work out we still have 2 solid RB's and a good running game with our new and improved O-Line.

Kinda like Stallworth, Welker, Washington, Caldwell, Brown, Childress.....

[B-DON]

Kinda like Stallworth, Welker, Washington, Caldwell, Brown, Childress.....

Atleast Brady can get them all the ball. No way the can in Detroit.

five wide out does have a formation. Five running backs though?

I think if we sign Brown, we won't draft a RB in the 1st couple of rounds, instead look for someone in rd 3 or so - just my feeling.

you are 1000% percent correct. and GOD please DONT let us sign Chris Brown.

[patmoran2006]

lol, great.

Indy Chicago and NE employ RB by Committee.
The Bills are going to use retread by committee?

Id rather have ANY of the prospects in round three before Chris Brown.

[Slim]

I wonder if this report was made before we signed Thomas. The quote could be a day old or two.

[ShadowHawk7]

I believe that Atrain + Brown decently fills the hole made by McGahee and it still leaves us w/ 4 day 1 picks.

If Marv still likes a back in the third, I wouldn't mind at all drafting him, but it gives us flexability to address another position of need (WR, DT, LB, and CB) instead.

[Tatonka]

the guy has the ability to be a great running back. there is no reason to be down on his signing, if he does.

Very true. I have said he is young enough to improve. He definitely has upside.

[dolphan117]

Question here- Is Brown more of a traditional back or is he an excellent out of the backfield receiver? Because if I was more of a traditional back there is no way I would go to the Lions as long as Martz is the OC. He just doesn't believe in running the football.

[Tatonka]

all i know is that i like the guy.. i had him on my fantasy team when he was the starter.. and i watched him shred the dolphins defense for 155 yards in the first half. 2 tds as well.

i liked him ever since.

he has the ability to break through the line and go the distance. we have an improved line at the very least. there is no way that if brown gets 200 carries, he is not knocking on the door of 1000 yards.

i would rather see brown as the starter than atrain.

brown can do both.. he can line up in the I and run the ball with power, but he is a very good receiver and can excel in a screen pass game.

I have to agree with Pat here. Chris Brown sucks!!!

[Tatonka]

why does he suck cane?

i mean, what is it about him that you dont like?

[Goobylal]

He sucks in that he can't stay healthy. When he IS healthy though, he doesn't suck. The problem is keeping him healthy. I highly doubt anyone can do it.

[Tatonka]

there are more cases than i can count of players that have been bit by the injury bug for whatever reason and get over it and go on to be productive pros like they were drafted high to be.

mark columbo is a perfect example. he was tossed by chicago, because he couldnt stay healthy, and now he is one of teh best linemen dallas has.

[The Spaz]

As long as Brown works his ass off to get himself physically better than he was he can correct the injury bug.

[Goobylal]

Anything's possible. But do you want to bet the season on it?

the guy is 25 years old, I think that's a bold statement to make that he can't be healthy again - while I hope they don't give him a boatload of guaranteed money if they do sign him, an incentive laden contract would be interesting

I think, of the available backs - and we need RB's - this could be worth taking a flier on - when healthy, he can be a good back, especially if he's just getting 10-15 carries a game or less - which is what we're talking about here if we draft a RB as well as having A-Train.

[Tatonka]

his injuries have been little things like turf toe that no one can control.. they are not an indication that he is not in good shape.

he had a bad run.. will it continue? sure, maybe it could..

it also might not.. there is no way to tell.

all i know is the guy was a 1st round talent when drafted and has PROVEN he can been a very good running back in the nfl when he stays on the field.

that is all i care about.

it is not like we are going to pay him 5 million a season.. i would guess if we get him, it will be in the range of 2 mill a year..

[Tatonka]

Anything's possible. But do you want to bet the season on it?
no one is betting a season on it.. DJ has clearly said we will go by committee and that would indicate that there will be more than just brown.

we clearly will have thomas who played well in relief of mcgahee.. and i am sure we will draft a back as well.

[dolphan117]

Just watch, the Pats will decide that without Dillon they need another back and snap him up. On a team frendly contract. :mad:

[TigerJ]

remember Detroit is being run by Matt Millen....

Maybe Detroit will sign him and turn him into a receiver.

[TigerJ]

Chris Brown could use some "hard coaching" to help him change his running style to one that would subject him to less risk of injury, but he's worth signing.

[YardRat]

If we sign Brown after bringing A-Train back, their's only room for one of two things to happen...

A) We don't draft a RB on day one, or
B) We draft a RB on day one and Shaud is history.

Hmmmmmm ..... that's a toughie ....... :insane:

[Ebenezer]

I agree with Tonk on this one...bring the guy in and see what he can do...make his contract team friendly so you don't blow the load on a signing bonus if he doesn't work out...this would be the perfect spot to employ roster bonuses that don't kill the cap for future years.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Bring him in and draft that high jumping Rutgers FB!

[patmoran2006]

dont sign him, and sign a CB with his money

[Tatonka]

i think cb can definately be addressed late in fa or in the draft just as easily.

[Tatonka]

besides.. i think chris brown will make much less than what a decent starting cb would make..

chris browns contract shouldnt be much more than atrains.

[ublinkwescore]

So we re-signed A-Train?

[Meathead]

did you turn your clock back two days instead of ahead an hour yeah we signed atrain

[Slim]

So we re-signed A-Train?

Yes.
