Courtney Brown - It's Either Washington or Denver

is it safe to say that if brown does sign with the skins that drafting a de is no longer a possibility at the # 9 spot ?

I think we should forget Brown and draft a DE in the later rounds.

If he comes in, it better be an incentive deal.

Also signing Brown would allow us to keep our D line even more fresh. There will be some serious rotation going on and we will be able to wear out an Oline.

I'm with Drew. Incentive laden deal. And this play with your cousin and ex-roommate stuff is ridiculous. That's a bomb waiting to blow. In any workplace it's not good to have a bunch of relatives and roommates working together. Too much fun and not a lot of 'get done'. Going back to the Vinny Cerrato interview. Follow up question. How does a player's age (Bruce Smith) and/or injury history (Courtney Brown) factor into 'the process'. To me it should be automatic. No consideration. That's the only reason I'm against drafting Erasmus James. Give me Roth or give me death. :oink:

Ditto. :oink:

If Browns plays for us, his career will be ressurected. :oink:

Maybe Arrington will take pay cut, a la Pennington-Coles, to make more room for Courtney Brown. :oink:

The article in the post said that it was an incentive deal based on health. I agree, and think that it's an intelligent decision. Because we control our risk.

Risk mitigation is the key here. Lots of upside with this guy but we can't go selling the farm on him. I an relieved he didn't sign before he left. It show's we exhibited some type of restraint in our offer otherwise he'd have been running to the closest Check Into Cash to get an advance on the money.

It's definitely an incentive contract they're talking about, like the one we gave to Walt Harris. The question is will Denver offer more GUARANTEED money than we will?

Redskins Pros
Arrington and his cousin Prioleau
Greg Blache is the best at maximizing DL talent
Better defensive ranking last year than the Broncos

Denver Pros
Winning track record recently
Better opportunity to start

I dunno, tough to call there. I think you guys are right, should come down to cold hard cash. I get the feeling the Skins are offering more cash than Denver but only as incentives. If Denver offers him more guaranteed money it's tough to say what he'll do, probably go with the Broncos. Who knows though, I guess we all wait till Monday!

...should come down to cold ...

The weather is much nicer on the east coast. :oink:
