[Botany]

1. It is a biz. End of story

signed
Bernie Kosar

[GreatScott]

2. A rather unfortunate line to write, next to the RFK logo. don't you think?

[WilliamPitt]

4. It'd be worse if I said

<--- Shoot him.

[Toby109]

12. Uh, You just did.

[Mojambo]

3. He should get a lot of attention

I wonder where he'll end up?

I'd have no problem with the Seahawks dumping Koren Robinson and going after Brown.

[GreatScott]

5. The Rams could definitely use him

[MikeG]

6. Heh. Heh. Want Plaxico?

[WilliamPitt]

7. I want Hines Ward.

[MikeG]

10. We will franchise him next year.

[sniffa]

14. i don't want that big fucking baby

Let him cry three rivers anypLace but here.

[applegrove]

8. Oh so now the freepers are taking hostages - I knew they were like

the Islamist fundamentalists. Thank god Troy was set free - his family must have been frantic.

:headbang:

[TwilightZone]

9. Ah, hell. He could only play offense, defense, and special teams anyway.

x(

[WilliamPitt]

11. Right?

No big loss.

*punching own face*

[ElaineinIN]

13. first Ty Law

and now Troy Brown

I mean, I understand the whole "no player is above the team" concept, but damn! Especially after what Troy Brown did for them this year. All I can think is that his agent was being outrageous in negotiations.

[Tafiti]

15. He's been there awhile too.

It seems like they'd keep him not just for being a versatile player, but for "veteran team leader" purposes too, something a little more symbolic. The "business" side is really taking over, just look at all the players in the league being cut as cap casualties!

[Sufi Marmot]

16. They may still re-sign him...we just lost Andruzzi, though...

From the Boston Globe article

Negotiations are likely to continue.

"There's always a chance that he could return," said Brown's agent, Gary Uberstine. "Neither side is burning bridges.

Let's hope he's back with the Pats for a few more years.

Andruzzi to Browns
