How about FS Mike Brown (Cut by Bears)

[SLATEmosphere]

By the way, do you have a view on E Chung from Oregon? (I think that's his correct surname spelling, at least.)

Patrick Chung? He's a solid safety..wouldnt draft him with th first pick though.

 

[JonJon]

I would take him if he comes cheap. Slide Hamlin to SS and let Brown split time with Henry.

 

[TNCowboy]

I doubt Roy Williams38 is back without a contract adjustment.

First and foremost here is the article from Rotoworld indicating he was let go by the bears.

The Bears have "decided to cut ties with" nine-year veteran FS Mike Brown.

This was expected, as GM Jerry Angelo said a month ago that he couldn't envision a scenario where Brown would return. Angelo is high on Danieal Manning, who is expected to be moved into Brown's starting role. With his injury history, Brown will likely have to accept a short-term, incentive-laden deal elsewhere. Feb. 15 - 9:59 am et

After taking a look at his stats, he is not as much of a ballhawk as I expected- his number of INTs were lower than I thought. However, a lot of this has to do with the fact that he has been hampered by injuries. Because he has been so injury prone though, he would be affordable. As many of you know we don't have very much to spend and FS is a need position. So the fact that he has been so injury prone is a negative first and then a small positive, at least as far as potentionally signing him is concerned.

He is also 31 years old, so while he is getting up there in age, by no means is the guy no capable of being serviceable if he can stay on the field. So what do you guys think? Is he worth taking a flyer on, on a deal that is short term and incentive laden? I would imagine so. When healthy, which has not been frequent lately he has proven to be a pretty good FS.

pretty decent safety he could help us

he could help us if we were trying to hand out free money

You mean Jerry Jones isn't doing that already?

However, there are some guys that play so poorly they may as well be there.

 

[Beast_from_East]

The dude is as soft as Charmin. I cant remember the last time he actually played an entire season.


He is usually on IR by Halloween............PASS!!!!

[Monster Heel]

Seriously.

The same Courtney Brown that people off the street were playing over? :laugh2:

 

[the kid 05]

Bobby Carpenter
Ken Hamlin
Anthony Henry
Tank Johnson
Cory Procter
Zach Thomas
Patrick Watkins
Roy E. Williams
Roy L. Williams

Bobby doesn't count he doesn't play (st don't count)

Ken sucks i agree with you on that i never liked him wasn't what i thought he would be

Henry leads the team in ints since hes been here hardly a slouch

Tank is leaving

Procter should be gone and doesn't start so yet again like BC doesn't count

Thomas how you think hes a slouch i have no idea

Roy E Williams was injured when we accquired him half way through the season; given what hes done in detroit he gets a pass for his half a season

Roy L Williams was doing good up untill he got hurt; has 1 final year to prove hes better then what you think

feel free to try again

 

[Rampage]

Seriously.

The same Courtney Brown that people off the street were playing over? :laugh2:

not Courtney Brown he's talking about Mike Brown. the guy who the thread is titled after.:laugh2:

 

[dcfanatic]

I would rather go after Darren Sharper if we are going old and injury risky at FS.

We do need a FS or a SS in FA though. I could see Hamlin playing either for us so we may target either spot.

There just aren't a lot of good guys available.

Maybe Leonhard from Baltimore. He made some plays for the Ravens last season, but is he really any better than what we have already.

We talk about Anthony Henry moving. Maybe there are some other older CB's around the league who are in the same boat as him and they are looking to make the move to Safety as well.

Draft one? We probably will, but we can't just depend on him to come in and start right away.

Watkins, Davis and Courtney Brown. If none are back I would not be surprised.

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

if seen a lot of this guy and is a very active safety.

the guy can play and has some skills only problem is hes always injured. i remember watching him get hurt on the opening day 2 years in a roy. if he could ever stay healthy hell be a good addition.

if we can get him on the cheap i wouldnt mind

As a Chicago resident in tune with local sports radio here, I can honestly tell you that the loss of Mike Brown is not well regarded by Bears fans. Mike Brown has had many injuries in Chicago, but when healthy, he's been the Bears' catalyst in the secondary.

Yes the Bears have Tommie Harris and Bryan Urhlacker in addition ot Mike Brown, but Bears fans and medial would often debate which of those three was most important to the team (not just the defense, but the team). My opinion? It's Mike Browm; he IS that good.

And don't just label him an "injury risk". While he tore his ACL to start the 2007 season, he played most of 2008 until a hamstring injury placed him on IR late in 2008. But don't be fooled by that injury; he was not placed on IR because it was that serious, but because the Bears knew the season was a loss and wanted to clear a roster spot to tryout other players. They also deterined then not to retrurn Mikr Brown, not because he lost it, but because the Bears have so many holes at OL and WR that they can't afford to bring back Brown at the price he is worth.

And the decision has nothing to do with his latest injury either, as he is already recoverd from the hamstring injury. Mike Brown is ready to go and he may have a hard time getting his price because of his age and injury history. But if Dallas can get him on that kind of a "doscount" they would be foolish not to make a play on him, because he can elevate Dallas' defense at least two notches. He and Hamlin would be absolute ballhawks back there together.

first, where in the chi region?

second, you know the talk shows and fans know that Brown isn't as valuable to the defense as you say, Esp when they have their coverage linebackers (briggs, urlacher, hillenmier(sp?)). Yes they do need secondary help in the worst way which is more then likely the case as to why he looks good.

Bobby doesn't count he doesn't play (st don't count)

Good Lord, I cant believe that we spent a freaking 1st round draft pick on guy that just plays special teams.

I think I am going to go puke now.
