Reggie Brown to Bucs
Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer
There is no NFL salary cap, and Reggie Brown is no longer being held hostage in Philadelphia by the cap penalty the Eagles would pay for jettisoning him. The team just announced that the once-promising wideout is going to Tampa Bay for an undisclosed 2011 pick, which the Tampa Tribune says is a sixth-rounder.
Brown, a second-round draft choice in 2005, set a team rookie receiving record that year, but the past two years have seen a steady, puzzling decline that resulted in him barely being used at all in 2009. He went from 61 catches in 2007 to 9 last season.

Reggie was a solid WR when he was healthy. There's nothing puzzling about his so-called decline. He was just wasn't as explosive and talented as Desean and Maclin. He'll have a decent career when all is said and done.— soulman386- Reggie was a solid WR when he was healthy. There's nothing puzzling about his so-called decline.

- No he was not SOLID...having bricks for hands and the football IQ of a turnip is not solid!!— brickhead
- Hardly relevant at all. The moves and lack of moves the Eagles have made thus far is nothing short of perplexing.— ant8817
- Good Riddins!— Phront_Runner
- What kind of value were you expecting for a backup WR (4th-5th) who is making a fair amount in base salary? This was a salary dump by the Eagles for a guy who was making a fair amount for a backup.— MG77
- woohoo! now i get to laugh at all my buc fan friends— tampaPhillyfan
- WOO!!! Taking out the trash!!!— absinthetic8
- yeah, my life is in roman ruins like shambles, bits of broken rock and powder because my football team is making all the wrong moves. I know I complain about all their moves, and don't wait for actual results. Truth...I just like to complain and blame my sour existence on the Eagles.— retzlaff
- As Buddy Ryan once said "I'd trade him for a six pack, and it doesn't have to be cold".— JJFN
Ya beat me to the punch ryno…pretty sad if this goes down as the biggest addition (by subtraction) move the Eagles make this offseason. Wonder if all this cap penalty stuff ultimately led to Brandon Gibson being traded instead of just releasing Brown. (I do wish Reggie luck though. Maybe a fresh start will help re-start his career.)- LMAO!!!!!!! Did Buddy Ryan actually say that?? Who was it about? That's hilarious!!!— oirerflaksdjflijfifasdf
- Biggest non-issue of the offseason. Not even pertinent. But I was nervous for a sec, thought you meant Sheldon Brown at first glance.— hallux
- this is what we got rid of hank basskum for? this is what we wasted #@#$*& roster spot for all season...a lousy sixth round pick??!!??? how much money does the lurner (or is that banie?) need??????— xatsmann
