Troy Brown

bricks · 05-20-2005, 09:23 AM

would anybody want him? he's still available...We release Morton come June 1st, we may have the money to sign a guy like Brown. I would imagine he'd play for the vet minimum, maybe a little more. Would be a nice upgrade over Morton don't you think?

I wouldn't be against signing him. He is a team player and has experience with winning teams. He could be a good veteran leader for this offense and still has sure hands. He is a much better option then Jerry Rice or Freddie Mitchell.

cadmonkey · 05-20-2005, 09:27 AM

He is a great team player, you would love him if you get him.

ModSocks · 05-20-2005, 09:32 AM

And he can play corner also right? hrmmmm

Edubs · 05-20-2005, 09:35 AM

Troy is the man......and he is good guy to. A great guy to have in the locker room.

Amnorix · 05-20-2005, 09:51 AM

I think Troy would be an excellent fit for a team like the Chiefs, who are trying to take the proverbial "next step". Between his workout regimen (impressive), leadership, experience, background in a winning program, dedication, and willingess to sacrifice for the team, he would be a terrific role model and presence on the squad.

My only concern is that he's an addition to the offense, which hasn't exactly been the side of the ball that has needed veteran leadership or whatever. But still, I think he'd be a pretty decent fit.

You'll love his pass-catching ability. Rare to see him drop a ball. I still remember one catch he made while literally lying flat on his back (he had slipped in trying to adjust to the throw, fell, and reached up and grabbed the damn thing).

The more I think about it, Brown seems like the perfect fit for our team. Has Carl said anything about being interested in him? I bet he would probably come cheap and I haven't heard much interest in him from other teams.

I'd rather see Denver sign Brown for whatever money they're thinking of giving Rice.

No he hasn't. This is something I thought of. Carl did mention something in the range, that, "we are going to take a look at a few veteran come June 1st".
Supposively veterans that will play here for the veteran minimum.

*I'm very very suprised nobody signed Troy Brown.

How many more changes can a team make on Defense?

Surtain = Vet Leadership
Bell = Young Playmaker
Hall = Role Player
Knight = Ball Hawk

We can't make 11 Changes on one side of the ball. Christ you are like ESPN

I almost posted this same thread last night. I think Troy Brown would be an excellent fit. It was only 2 or 3 seasons ago that he put up 1,200 yards receiving. I have no doubt in my mind that Brown could put up 800+ in this offense.

The only thing I don't like is his age. We would be dumping Morton, and getting an even older Troy Brown.

Agreed with everything you mentioned there Amnorix. Brown's got great hands, the rest of our WR corps have so-so hands. Plus, he's a veteran with good leadership. we have 2 young guys on our WR corps. That is, Sammie Parker and Craphonso Thorpe. Brown could help those guys significantly.

How old is troy brown?

ct · 05-20-2005, 10:14 AM

I've stated my thoughts on him before. Absolutely I'm in favor, but preferrably brought in as intended #3 behind Parker. He's a nice vet insurance policy in case Sammie isn't ready.

If we cannot get Peter Warrick (he may not even be released) I would love to have Troy Brown.
