Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

Heading to Cleveland as VP of Player Personnel, per multiple sources

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

At least we had him throught the draft and FA process.

Good luck to you MB!!

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

Big loss in my opinion

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

Interesting timing. Is this over all personnel?

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

not a big deal imo as long as we dont replace with doug williams

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

Not sure I like this. He seemed to be a real sharp guy. Kind of surprised that they would let him walk after Shanahan left. We've had some guys in the front office that have left here and had success elsewhere and I bet Brown follows in those footsteps.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

could this mean we see some trades with Cleveland coming up, I know they need recievers and we have extras. I'm looking at you Hankerson.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

So what's the scoop Smoot? Did they disregard his advice again in the draft? Why is he fleeing now?

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

I'm ready for some new thinking in that position.
Its not like he has helped us into the playoffs for the past six years.

He's got nothing to do with the draft, he's the FA/trade guy. He'd been looking for a while.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

i really didnt know who brown or scott campbell were before SS talked about them when we had our FO shakeup after last season.

i took a lot of solace in the fact that SS really liked them and it seemed they were coveted by other teams.

my initial thought is the motivation for brown leaving -

was it a chance to move up in title vs not liking yet another regime chance (w perhaps gruden wanting to bring in some of his ppl)?

why didnt they promote him in title to block talks?

i forget what we did after shanny left but i thought we promoted them both?

lots of questions, im sure some will be answered in time, others will be kept behind closed doors.

Thank you. I don't get why people think it's a big loss. We need change

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

I don't know if it was good to just let him leave rather than convincing him to stay, but if he had significant duties and responsibilities- he'll at least need to be replaced. And that should be the Redskins' focus. Morocco Brown is gone. Time to move on from him.

we were told 5 months ago that he was well qualified and an important piece of our FO going forward ... now that piece just gets up and leaves us? odd handling it seems.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

I don't know what to think about Brown leaving, but it's like with Haslett- fair or not, you have to go bottomline and judge by performance. The trades and FA decisions have been hit and miss, which is mediocre.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

... I was worried more when I thought he was involved in this last draft because I thought the strategy and execution in this last draft was well done especially considering the lack of 1st rounder.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

This is the upheaval time for personnel departments around the league. Hope he succeeds in Cleveland.

Meh. I'm not sold on this current staff or front office. Tampa Bay 2: Without the Super Bowl

Any way you feel about it - it's still a much better upgrade than the previous front office setup- whenever that officially ended.

Re: Morocco Brown to the Browns
 

The previous front office setup could be the biggest problem of the Redskins in the last 10 - 15 years.

Wow! I say no thanks to that! I love football, but you'd have to pretty much have no life outside of the team to be ahead in that position.

I wonder if this opens the door for a GM hire in the near future?
