Reggie Brown to Bucs
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.

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.
I forgot he was a 2nd rd pick.. I really did not understand why he lost so much playing time, I think he can be a solid number two.— dennismithusa- At this level, it's all about separation from the defensive back covering you; Reggie never succeeded in that area.— Adam Smythe
- jjfn- right on!— disgruntled fan
- 35TH pick over all the question isn't did the eagles get enough it should be did AR mess up (again) drafting him..... YES!— JKJSMCD
- Reggie should have been let go 2 years ago, this is late in coming but thank goodness it happened. We lost what might have been another good WR in Gibson last year because of holding onto this clown. He'll fit well in the Bay area.— realtruth
- Eagles: "We know you need a wideout, and we got a, uh, former 2nd rounder who set a rookie receiving record and mayyybe available for the right price..." Tampa: "Wow!! DeSe--" Eagles: "Nononononoo. No. Nooooo. Sorry, we meant Reggie Br--" Tampa: "We'll give you a 7th." Eagles: "Sixth. And a sleeve of golfballs." Tampa: "Those new Titleists?" Eagles: "(long pause) Whatever"
The question is, did the Bucs get enough for that coveted 6th rounder...? Let's see, TB's QB situation is in shambles with 2 2nd year players, and the Birds trade this guy to them? If the 9 catches for the season and lack of use didn't prove it, the trade destination proved Brown was in the doghouse big time.— kjuggs77
I remember not long ago the organization was telling us not to worry about losing T.O. because they had drafted Reggie Brown. Maybe the sixth round wide receiver we draft with the pick we got from Tampa Bay will be in Todd Pinkston's league. Nothing to see here of course, because we all know the gold standard is making all the right moves.- Another Second Rounder like Kolb. Wasted picks!— Seed
- Eagles move of the decade!!! Great work guys!.....— RoastedBird
Comment removed.- How come father of the year Andy Reid never gets critized for the large chunk of change wasted on Reggie Brown, Jeremone McDougle etc...he is the worst game manager and worst Gm in the league.— Dr. Michael
- reggie seemed to do better with garcia. never really clicked with McNabb— notch44
- Wow love these moves by the Eagles I smell Super Bowl now!— slade1955
- Shrug— dasher
