Jamaal Brown Has Surgery..Again.

So we dont need our draft picks now? oh ok...

Of course we need our draft picks. How are we going to build a solid team without draft picks?

Financial implications of Jammal Brown’s contract are weighed - Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/2/financial-implications-of-jammal-browns-contract-a/?page=all)

Posted before but worth tossing up again, regarding his contract implications

The actual trade wasn't the bad move made by the FO at the time. The bad move was when they resigned him in the previous off-season KNOWING he was a injury liability, and then counted on him with no solid backup (polumbus) plan in place. Skinsfan, this doesn't smell of Vinny one bit. Not even close.

I think it does. Trading a high draft pick for an older player coming off an injury is not smart. Plus they moved him from LT to RT. Yeah hindsight is 20/20 but to me this is just using common sense.

Yup. Trading for a player one year removed from the pro-bowl was not a terrible move. At the time, I was good with it and actually pretty happy about it. Had it panned out, we would have been set at the tackle position for years to come.

Resigning him? That one boggled me.

From #72 to #79 (where we picked with a trade from Miami)
73 New England Patriots Stevan Ridley RB
74 New England Patriots Ryan Mallett QB
75 Seattle Seahawks John Moffitt G
76 Jacksonville Jaguars Will Rackley G
77 Tennessee Titans Jurrell Casey DT
78 St. Louis Rams Austin Pettis WR



OMG We Coulda Had Steven RIDLEY!!!
(we took Hankerson at 79)
What a bum trade! [/sarcasm]

Well Ridley's a pretty damn good player on one of the best teams in the NFL. I'd take him over Brown.

Technically the Saints moved him from RT to LT

It's just time to move on from Brown. Hopefully they can get someone in the upcoming draft to push Polumbus. RT and safety have to be at the top of their list.

We all remember JB missed the entire 2009 season due to injury right?

with benefit of hindsight - This is a brilliant point.
