Chris Brown Requests Trade from TEN (1 Viewer)

ESPNews reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Brown has requested to be traded from the team.

Link

Might Henry start Week 1? or is this all LenDale all the time? Could Henry take on a more Bush-like role for Chow (obviously not to the same degree as Bush was)?

Will Brown get his trade?

Any possibility for Brown in STL? MIA?

 
This guy does not impress me at all. I wouldn't want him on my team. He's oft-injured, soft and he apparently is afraid to fight for his job.

Earlier this week, I read, and posted, a blurb saying that the Titans were going to showcase Henry in preseason for purposes of trading him
 
Hmmm....LenDale White is becoming more and more difficult to gauge for my upcoming draft. I'm at 4 and am considering him...

 
I think the writing is on the wall here.

Clearly Brown knows something we don't... which is that he isn't going to start.

I would bet that TEN has plans to hold onto Henry because of Brown requesting a trade. Maybe.

I remember reading about that though.

Certainly a big development for White's prospects, as this almost certainly means he is the guy.

 
It will be very interesting to see what type of shape White is in on the first day of camp.

If he's not, it's certainly saying a lot of Brown that he's already given up.Question for Titans homers.... who has the better hands, White or Henry?

If my memory serves me, Brown is a FA next year. With that in mind, I would imagine he is afraid he will not have the opportunity to start and "showcase" his talent for a fat new contract. I would have thought that with the drug issue, Henry is the odd man out. This should get good... :popcorn:

Henry is a solid back though... he performed better in BUF than McGahee has, which is slightly ironic, don't you think?If I'm looking for a White Backup, I take Henry over Brown all day.

Wynn Silberman now represents Brown as of June, he has been working on getting an extension and now Sirius reports he is asking to be traded.

 
Starting this year is not the issue, but the team's long term commitment. Brown is free agent after this year. the rumors I have from titanville are that Brown and the team talked contract within the last couple of days and they were not even in the county concerning his value. As for anyone inquiring about Brown, what has become the normal list of suspects this off seson, KC, Houston, Philly, Jets, Broncos.

 
I can't even place him as a good fit anywhere.

The only place I think he'd even be a solid backup is behind RB in MIA. But RB doesn't need a backup, he needs a compliment, so I doubt he goes there.

MIN? :ph34r:

 
I'm trying to think of any connections he might have. I forgot, who was the OC before Chow? Where's he now?

Mike Heimerdinger, went from TEN to NYJ in 05, now in DEN
 
Lelie

As a #3? Or do you expect they wont re-sign Bennett next offseason? Might actually work out for them. Hell, they got Pacman to chill out, whats to say they cant convince lelie to actually play worth his potential?

That's what I thought, but for some reason I thought he had been with the Jets for more than a season.But Brown for Lelie? Seems like TEN already has more receivers than they know what to do with.... I could see Brown looking good in DEN.

 
Chris Brown is going to land in Houston. D. Davis is hurt a lot more than what people realize. Brown going to Denver does little for his chances to get playing time.

As a Brown owner, I'd prefer that Chris left the Titans. They're going to be horrible this year and I don't think Chris' lack of success last year was entirely his fault.

LenDale looks to be climbing in drafts around the country. He's going to end up the starter almost immediately.

So you feel his situation would be improved if he ended up in Houston?

Even if the second sentence is true, and I'm not sure it is, I don't think that deal gets done within the division.
 
Playing devel's advocate here....White was never a full time RB at SC. He averaged right around 15 carries a game the past two years. Therefore, I believe a ton of his value will be tied into the shape he's in at camp. If this kid isn't in top of the line shape I think it maybe a reach to think he can be workhorse for a full 16 game NFL schedule.

So, the question is simple...does anyone know what type of shape he's in? Has he lost the man boobs?

We are talking dynasty rookie draft in case you thought I meant redraft. If Maroney and Williams are gone with Bush going first, why not? I don't like Addai...

I could see the others but I'm kinda surprised to hear that KC would be interested.

I will be taking white at 1.04 if i can't move up to 1.02 to grab Dwill.
 
This is a very interesting development. I think a lot of the key notes have been mentioned already.

Brown is a FA at the end of the season. Ten just drafted a RB in basically the 1st round of the draft. A RB that has a history with the OC. Brown obviously knows something we dont know. My guess (from an agent perspective trying to negotiate a new contract) is that the Titans were asked what Browns role would be in the offense. They were probably told that the Titans were very excited about the full stable of RBs (Brown, Henry, White, and Jarrett) and were going to exploit the talents of each of them, i.e. Brown would not be getting the lions share of the carries. This is most likely why Brown requested a trade.

Talent aside, Travis Henry cannot be a starting RB in the NFL. Meaning, they would need a full time replacement ready for if he hits another suspension (1 year). I dont think Ten wants to go into the season with Henry and a rookie with Jarret as a backup. It simply doesnt make sense.

My take is that Ten will not trade Brown and use him this season as the starting RB. No team wants a rookie to start due simply to blocking for the QB and picking up the system. That said, I would expect Brown to get 10-15 carries a game and should drop down a lot of folks drafts. This opinion here is coming from someone pimping Brown a bunch going into this season.

If Ten did want to trade Brown, an obvious choice would be Phi, Denver, Hou, Pit, or maybe even Buffalo (haha). I think Browns problem is that he hasnt shown anyone he can stay healthy. If he does that this season and keeps his mouth shut, he should see some decent money next season even if it isnt full time money.

 
If he did request a trade, that must mean he's seen the new playbook and the amount of touches the coaches are planning on for him aren't there. My guess is that Henry/White have been written into the playbook a lot more than Brown wants.

To request a trade, it would take something like being pulled in the redzone along with splitting series with Henry.

I think this says more about the offense and their game plan more than it does White. I doubt Tenn has started penciling in White without seeing what he can do in live contact at game speed. Chow and the coaches might have an idea of how to use all three, which of course would upset someone looking to get paid next year.

Jul 20 John Murphy, of Yahoo Sports, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Brown officially has requested the right to seek a trade, according to Brown's representatives from Morgan Advisory Group. Agents Ryan Morgan and Wynn Silberman wrote an official letter and delivered it to the team Monday, July 17. Brown decided his long-term future in Tennessee was in doubt after his agents met with Titans' general manager Floyd Reese. League sources said that Brown's name was mentioned in a variety of possible trades, but Reese had yet to provide Brown or his new representation permission to seek a trade. Teams that could potentially show interest in obtaining the rights to Brown include the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, with the dark horse team being the Minnesota Vikings.

What type of money is Brown making for this season?I'd seriously doubt he'd go to Philadelphia. They just re-signed Westbrook and historically won't put a ton of money in one position, especially one that they don't utilize enough.

Where does it say a deal is "practically" done? Just because it says "with the dark horse team being Minn" you assume the deal is "practically" done?

If the people I know in Titan land are correct the "problem" is the the Titans are offering 3years $10 million dollars to Chris Brown. In today's NFL that is high end back-up/ low-end starter money. I am also betting that a contract like that could be gotten out of pretty easily. IMO, the Titans will not allow Brown to leave by trade for many of the reasons discussed in this thread.

I put Philly in the fold because the dont have a downhill runner. Brown would fill that role nicely and would be a good fit with his soft hands. Im not saying Philly is looking to fill that role, simply that I feel he would be a good addition at this point in time.
 
As a Henry owner I am  :pickle:

Henry hasn't really done anything in three years. Granted, he got hurt his last year in Buffalo, opening the door for McGahee, but he wasn't very effective before getting injured. And he didn't look good last year either. I think his time has come and gone - IMO if it's not Brown, White will be the guy you want to have.
