49ers release Anthony Brown

[Dbeastmode21]

I think our backups are good enough and they ll take their chance.saw some promising plays from those guys.this defense will be more motivated then before.cardinals better watch out

 

[Mr_437]

Tough injury for a veteran CB, honestly, I'd be more interested in AB next season. However, Dallas will draft a CB in the 1st or 2nd round next draft.

 

[Praxit]

.. fastest career ever.

Brown lasted 2 weeks with the Steelers and about a week with the Niners.

I feel bad for him. He was poised to get a decent contract before he blew out his knee.

 

[rambo2]

Fans here swore he was legit.

No one signed him in free agency. Steelers and 49ers brought him in for a look and immediately passed.

He was hurt.

 

[Floatyworm]

If he can run, Cowboys should bring him back....

Took the 49ers 1 practice to see he sucks...

Dude....he was absolute dog crap that you would pick out of your shoe with a stick. He was that bad....

 

[Amarillofan82]

Not interested unless he is being dumped on PS. I would rather Byron Jones, or just sticking with what they have already.

 

[Starforever]

They let him go because they will throw to his side during week five, if Dallas signs him.

 

[Einstein]

Sure, he's a FA, so sign him the the PS and play the wait and see game to see if we need him.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’d argue Brown was a better (and more productive) NFL corner than Mo Claiborne ever was.

 

[VaqueroTD]

He was hurt.

Yup. Not fair at all on AB.

AB's superpower was always speed. Heard on more than one player interview the last few years that AB was the fastest guy on the team.

That injury negates all of that.

Anthony Brown: Let's make a deal​

 

[Risen Star]

I mean, in or out. There are flies getting in.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I would rather Byron Jones

For what? He admitted when he retired that he couldn't play any more.

 

[RonnieT24]

I’d argue Brown was a better (and more productive) NFL corner than Mo Claiborne ever was.

Brown was/is a better player than he is usually given credit for but I still think Mo was the superior player and the numbers bear that out. Brown was targeted 3.5 times as often and gave up more than 4X as many TDs. He also gave up a significantly higher passer rating and completion percentage. Still I think people like to dawg out both guys more than they deserved.. but this fan base is spoiled as hell and tends to do that. ​

I wonder if they paid him like 20 mil under the table to be a mole.... then "cut him" knowing we'd sign him....at which point he'll feed everyone at Dallas false information and intentionally get scorched for 200 yds when we at SF.

We're getting screwed again.

Claiborne did not live up to being a top 10 pick. That is all that matters to me.

PFR.com doesn’t have advanced metric stats before 2018, which is why the numbers are grossly skewed.
