DE Alex Brown out?

A BROWN OUT?

After trading running back Thomas Jones and considering dealing linebacker Lance Briggs, the Chicago Bears now are shopping defensive end Alex Brown. There are no shortage of suitors.
Already three teams -- the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans -- each have expressed an interest.
Kansas City needs another defensive end to help replace Jared Allen, who has been suspended for the first four games of the coming season and is playing on a one-year, $2.5 million contract.
Seattle is searching for another defensive end to pair opposite of its high-priced free-agent acquistion, Patrick Kerney.
And Tennessee needs someone to team with defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, who is used to seeing way too many double teams in Music City.
But the fact that three teams are investigating whether they appease the Bears' trade demands and Brown's contract demands shows that there is a market for the defensive end's services, and Chicago could have its choice of places to deal a defensive end that has had at least 5 1/2 sacks in each of the past four seasons. Either way, an offseason of trades could have at least one more.

Would you guys be intrested?

Not really. We need some of these young guys to develop (Hatcher, Canty, Spears, and the possibility of Ratliff at DE).

I don't like trading picks away...

But the Bears are in a good situation. Mark Anderson did quite well in his pass rushing role last year and should fit into their mix quite nicely.

I could see Tennessee pushing hard for him. Him and Vanden Bosch at DE and Haynesworth and Starks at DT would form a nice DL for them. And all pretty young too...

Alex Brown is not suited to play as a 3-4 DE, NO!

I would be very interested...








...in founding out what any of those 3 teams would give us for Greg Ellis.

Brown is 6'3" 260 lbs. He'd be an OLB in the 3-4...not a DE.

Swap Ellis for Brown.

Those teams need to keep in mind that Ellis is also a good baby sitter. That will sweeten any possible deal.

He also has a big house, perfect for BBQ's.

We'd have to throw in a kicker as well. Maybe a 3rd or 4th I think. Brown is only going into his 6th year in the NFL. I'll tell you, he'd be very interesting to me. Make no mistake, we need three lagit pass rushers. This is a guy I would absolutly try to get.

I'm all for throwing away kickers.

I wasn't talking about going after Brown though. I was talking about I'd be interested in what those team would offere us for Ellis.

I like Brown but he's far more a run stopper than a pass rush guy. I don't see him being all that effective as on OLB. He's got the right size but he just doesn't strike me as that type of player.

Ellis actually is a far better fit for our D.

Honestly, I think this is a question that you don't want to know the answer to.

Not me, I'm for getting Brown and shipping Ellis off. He would fit much better in Chicago then here in Dallas and we need the OLB pass rusher. If you want to throw in a kicker or two, I'm OK with that. Can probably use the locker space.

I just saw Alex Brown on a cover of ESPN the mag with Urlacher, and I was thinking, "what the **** is that guy doing next to Urlacher?"... no way do I want that guy; everybody on that defense except for Urlacher, Tommie Harris, and Mike Brown when healthy are not worthy of giving up anything for them.... besides, Brown is a 4-3 end, smaller than Ellis and less suited to play 3-4... then again the patriots took Rosevelt Colvin and made him a pretty decent LB even though he was a 4-3 end.

I still say no.

 

[jterrell]

He is averaging 5.5 sacks per year and wants more money....

I wonder if Chicago fans hate him the way Cowboy fans hate Ellis?

I wonder if we can get Brown for 2.5 million.

 

[JPM]

The Skins should trade their 1st and 2nd round pick in 08 for him.
And then sign him to a $50 million contract.

If they do I say good for them.

The skins will probably give up some picks and sign him..... isn't that their MO?:laugh2:

They need a pass rush. It wouldn't be near as dumb as the TJ Duckett deal.
