Birds ship Brown to Bucs
Posted by Mike Florio on March 8, 2010 8:57 PM ET
The NFL has been making it clear that, notwithstanding the status of the labor deal between the league and the players' union, the draft will be conducted in 2011.
And that's a good thing, since teams have commenced the process of dealing the picks.
The Buccaneers have announced that their own sixth-round pick from the 2011 draft has been shipped to Philly for receiver Reggie Brown.
Brown is under contract through 2014. Per NFLPA records, he is due to receive a base salary of $1 million in 2010, $1.2 million in 2011, $1.6 million in 2012, $3 million in 2013, and $3.7 million in 2014.
The move comes on the same day that the Eagles signed Jason Avant to a five-year, $18 million contract.
Tampa's sixth-round pick might not be the only 2011 selection that the Eagles harvests. If quarterback Mike Vick is traded after the 2010 draft, all or part of the compensation could be 2011 picks.
