A Dose of Reality

awesome does this mean brown will stay now? i hope so... Brown and White... idk if any of u watch wrestling but as Carlito would say.. "now thats cool"

 

There was never a question of whether he would stay. It would be a huge outside shot for him to leave. All that happened was that Brown's agent "requested" that he be traded. The titans don't really have any interest in trading him, so unless someone comes along with a major deal, it's not going to happen. At least he's making sure to say today that he'll be here to work no matter what.

 

Brown is just doing good business. He realizes he has to "bust it" this contract year for a good contract at year's end. If he gets injured doing it- he is screwed. He just wants some job security if it is out there. I take no insult. He's never been a distraction to the team and I doubt he ever will be.

 

that was a pretty harsh article to write about him tho, but the good news is that it looks like he will be staying in tennessee

I thought this was reasonable, if a little overstated. Brown wants a trade to better showcase his talents? Is there another team that would be a better fit where he'd have less competition? He's been named the starter, he should be able to hold it.

 

a little harsh obviously someones bitter over the fact hes asked for a trade but honestly i dont think anyone really expects the Titans to trade him...theres no reason....hopefully he can have a big year with the Titans and get resigned next season...i dont feel 100% comfortable handing over the job to lendale white just yet...

 

I say lets trade him to the bengals for chad johnson! Thats a fair trade

 

Truth be Told

 

There is some truth to it, but again, his value will not be maximized here. No matter how well he plays his replacement is on the sideline waiting. One glimmer of hope for White and Brown is out of a job. But not only that, you'd have to be a fool to think he will score TD's here. White is almost guranteed to be the finisher. He's in a three back rotation in Tenn. Fisher proved he would split carries last year. It will happen this year too. Brown may not be able to find a job elsewhere, let's face it, but there's no job for him here either. He can drown here over the course of a year or two and watch as his career toilets out, or he can try to steal a starting job somewhere else. His career is on the borderline of "over." And he can sense it. It's a good career and business move to try and get traded regardless of the market value.
